She&#8217;s hanging out near Thomas Point, now, and I&#8217;ve photographed her in previous years. You never know\u00a0 how well a given bird will fare in the wild, so it&#8217;s always a mild relief to see she&#8217;s made it another year.\u00a0 &#8220;She&#8221;, because the locals who feed her have nicknamed her &#8220;Julia&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In the last week or so I&#8217;ve stayed very local to avoid crowds and keep costs down. The USA is experiencing a large surge, and I suspect obeying the rules is the right way to go.<\/p>\n<p>So, it&#8217;s mostly passerines because the ducks are just starting to get here. I&#8217;ve been hanging out near the feeders, as there&#8217;s not much else going on yet.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44356\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
