I swung by Dutch Gap after work this afternoon and was glad to see some
activity finally. There were a good number of Canada's as well as Wood
Ducks, but the Wood Ducks were staying off in the distance in the deep
weeds. The vegetation is very heavy and has grown up blocking views of
much of the marsh. The water level is still high and there is quite a
bit of greenery in the marsh area.
I was surprised to see an osprey sitting in the tree there...he sat
there the whole hour I was there.
