There were a few single birds flying back and forth at the back of the big pond at Donnelley on Sunday.

And a number of Great Blue Herons tucked into the reeds.

The Great Egret turned, the Great Blue Heron never moved.

The marsh grasses have turned completely brown, but some of the scrubby bushes on the far dike and trees are holding on to their green.
