Not too much bigger is the eastern phoebe. You can usually find them hanging out at the intersection of Marsh Rabbit Run and Heron Hideout.

This early fall, there’s been a purple gallinule family hanging out in the same corner as well.

The American bitterns are back. This one was hiding in the marsh on Wading Bird Way. Another photog with a keen eye found him.

“Bye, bye” says the ducks as they take off after an eagle flew over them.

Lots of the same ole thing at Circle B Bar Reserve in mid-November.
