I have been to the Fill the last three weekends; and, have not been so
lucky. Did, however, see a pair of Green Backed Herons, flying between
Shoveler and Gadwall ponds, lots of Gold Finches; and, the berries are
ripe. Where are the Red Wing Blackbirds? Have I just never noticed
that they are Parisians; and, leave in August?
