With the large amount of mottled we saw early on I was wondering how our take would be on those. Those did educate quickly and disappeared. They probably took refuge on the refuge. I think we're going to head back out weekend after next to do a little work on the blind. I need to lower Ellie's launch pad as much as possible, now that I know the water level status, and transplant and secure more cord grass at the blind for the growing season. Maybe I'll see some water diversion activity......
