A quiet evening that took its time. First a few ducks passing in flight, then the same Osprey as ever, hunting the bay. Later some Mallards came in close, close enough for the first real portraits of the summer, and to finish, the same Bald Eagle as always on its snag at the south end of Union Bay.

Mallard close in at the water's edge, the reward for waiting out a slow evening.
