The water was still and the air was hot. A few gulls and terns occupied old posts standing in the pond while an Anhinga dried off on a stump.

Even though it was early morning when you expect to see the birds feeding there wasn’t much going on.

Trees and grasses on the other side of the pond made interesting reflections in the water.
