I took a run up to Delaware Wildlife Area last evening just to see what was around. One of the large marsh's where I photographed tons of teal back in the spring was completely dry and full of beautiful, lush, green grasses. I suspect the DNR has purposely drained the marsh to grow the grasses and will re-flood the marsh for the fall waterfowl migration. There are good numbers of meadow type birds flitting around in all that fresh grass.
I went over to another marsh on the property that has plenty of water and was very surprised to see a pair of sand-hill cranes hanging around. It seems a bit late for them to be here, it is fairly common to see them here during migration but not this late into the summer, the cranes must not have read the book that says they should be somewhere else
