Some small birds and Canada Geese were about, but there were virtually no ducks, and the one Eagle I saw didn&#8217;t stick around long enough for a photo.<br \/>\nI had planned to stay in today, but there was some Sun for a while, so I took a chance and stopped by Jonas Green Park and Greenbury Point. The results were somewhat better, but I wouldn&#8217;t call it a successful day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4963\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
