There is a huge tree in the corner of the marsh that attracts any and all creatures. I lost count during my visit today as to how many birds were either in the tree, or immediately beneath it.
At one point there was a Night Heron family, a group of Green Herons, a Great Blue Heron, countless Wood Ducks, Yellow-Legs, Mallards, a King Fisher, and for a short time they were joined by a Cooper's Hawk. Not to be left out, an Osprey and a Northern Harrier also flew over the treetop.
In over 2 hours at the marsh I barely moved except to dodges the ants that showed no mercy (no pics of those!).

| These two siblings had a love-hate relationship. They were never farther apart than a few inches but they sure did squabble! |

| Standing Room Only! All I could get in this photo were the lower residents of the tree...Wood Duck to the side (many more around the trunk), cormorants, and a Great Blue Heron. |

| Yellow-Legs (not sure if this is a Greater or Lessor?) |
