There wasn&#8217;t much going on, so I explored a bit. The marsh pond was fairly active, and I got most of my images near there. No significant amount of migarnts yet, but enough to be promising.<\/p>\n<p>I went on to CBEC, which was a bit slow, but I found some interesting birds there, as well.<\/p>\n<div
