Photographs taken a little after sunrise on a cool morning.

Above, a Great Blue hunched down waiting for warming sun to fish. A juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron sleeps behind in the reeds, an Ibis in the right hand corner.

Shot in a cut just off the main marsh. An adult Black-crowned Night Heron on the bank. Cuts like flow water, like a stream, between marshes.
Shot in old rice fields, Donnelley wildlife management area.
