This is just a quick report as I did not check the whole Marsh. 1 BCNH adult, lots of mallards, northern shovelers and still some wood ducks, 2 trumpeters (tagged) and 1 immature mute. This bird may need to be relocated as no one has ever seen it fly and it is alone. Sadly I must tell you the rescue last week looked wonderful but the heron did not make it. Now there is another great blue heron at the north west corner with something tangled in its beak. I cannot see exactly what it is or how it affects the bird. It seems healthy but I have yet to see it catch a fish or fly for that matter. If anyone is down there with a good scope this weekend please try to find it and figure out if this bird needs to be rescued. Let me know and I will pass the word along. Thanks Arlene Brazeau
