There&#8217;s very little traffic at that hour.<\/p>\n<p>The morning was quite sunny, but the resident birds were staying well out in the marsh and it was tough to get good images.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the ducks (Shovelers, Pintails, Teal, Mallards) were young or females. I suppose that&#8217;s standard for Fall migration. There were very few Sandpipers, which is probably because the water was quite high.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, there&#8217;ll be more variety soon.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40539\" style=\"width: 1034px\"
