They actually weren&#8217;t too bad. I&#8217;m sure the bug spray helped, but I&#8217;ve seen more bugs in other places.<\/p>\n<p>It was really quite birdy this morning. I found some Glossy Ibis, but they were too far off. The Skimmers were more cooperative, and my Willet was still hanging out in Bear Swamp Pool. There were hundreds of Egrets and Herons, but not as many Sandpipers as I expected. No Eagles at all, which is surprising.<\/p>\n<p>A very good morning indeed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=39429\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39429\"><img
