When I returned back to the site I noticed the water level had gone down, I think this is a result of not having much rain the past few weeks. There were also fewer insects either because of the drop in temperature or less water. As a was sitting there I noticed there weren’t as many bird sounds as earlier in the year. It was very calming as and the weather was beautiful even if it was warm for November. There was far less foliage this time around and even looked as if there were less reeds in the water.
I also noticed these heron tracks near the boardwalk of the trail
