I exxpect thing to pick up in a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been hitting the usual places, with shortened days due to the heat. There&#8217;s a few finds here and there, but nothing really exciting.<\/p>\n<p>I went to Blackwater again this morning, and it was an improvement. Still no egrets or sandpipers, but a few images are good enough to publish.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=39602\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39602\"><img
