I’ve been sticking with the CBEC routine for several weeks now, and it’s interesting to watch the cast of characters change as the water level drops and it gets warmer. Some birds have raised this year’s family, and are out searching for new areas to feed in.

Many Sandpipers have appeared, I’ve seen Avocets, Ibises and a single Little Blue Heron. Will a TriColored Heron be next?

A few sunrise photos also turned out well this week.

Morning in The Marsh.

I think this is a Starling with a nice bug.

This nest contains two Osprey chicks.

Snowy Egrets near dawn.

Killdeer have just begun appearing.

Lesser Yellowlegs are feeding in the flats.

Least Sandpipers are regulars.

20 or more Canada Geese seem to be spending the Summer.
