It was a well concealed Bittern.<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Only its head movements gave it away.<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Latter just as it was getting dark, 2 herons dropped in. They were<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">smaller versions of the Great Blue Heron and a little smaller than a Bittern. <br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Their colors was not visible - they looked a light grey. Good flyers - made <br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">some impressive turns. I have no idea as to their ID!<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Mayfly numbers are very much less than last week.

With less<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Mayflies the Midges were quite plentiful but in very restricted places.<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Trout knew these places so attracted me there. No doubt there is<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">various species of Midges but I'm not even sure the proper name for<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">these little fellows is Midges!<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Black Flies are keeping most people away from the river<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">and makes it good for folks like me. Dragon flies - species unknown<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">were snacking on the Black Flies. First I've seen this year.<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy the spring along with the Black Flies!<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Paul<br/></span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span> </div> </body></html>
