The water was still low, but we found a few interesting specimens anyway.<\/p>\n<p>There weren&#8217;t many people visiting, and there were far fewer wading birds than my last visit.\u00a0 We could see a decent sized flock in the distance, but much too far away to get decent images.<\/p>\n<p>Some Terns were very active, and many Herons were fishing, but Egrets were not numerous. The insect population seems to be less, for some reason. We didn&#8217;t miss them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=39556\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39556\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
