Getting a little dark, small storm passing.

Spoonbill (Balance Beam)
Ellen, PassingByPhoto (click here), did a great job with this bird. I admit to sneaking up behind her to take a few shots myself, but her article is really nicer.

Moor Hen, Common Gallinule
When I saw this Moor Hen I remembered the darker fall look that my Heron photographs portrayed. So I took the shot of this small hen near the same spot.
A half mile stretch of marsh looks like this so I hoped they might be similar.
The Gallinule, or Moor Hen, is the pigeon of the marshlands. Not that I don’t like them, but they are everywhere and give off a loud warning.
They do provide another service. Everything out here eats them. It’s what’s for dinner.
