The Point was full of little surprises this morning. The Ash-throated Flycatcher found hanging around Coral Avenue several days ago is still there, feeding actively and giving good views from the street. We found a Baltimore Oriole feeding on seed on the ground, in with a group of sparrows and a Brown Thrasher. Bunker and Lighthouse Ponds are hosting a great variety of ducks, including the lingering Eurasian Wigeon, and several Tundra Swans are mixed in among the Mute Swans
