On New Years Day, I traditionally drive out to Race Point in Provincetown to see what I can photograph. For 2017, I waited for Jan. 2, having become a national holiday for a Monday, and unfortunately the day turned really dark fast, precluding much bird photography. .
I stopped at Fort Hill for the sun rise (worth the trip by itself), continued to Race Point, moved to P town harbor, then Wellfleet Audubon Sanctuary.
At any rate, here are the results.
