Images from a Summer Day at Curtin Wetland

Here are a few images from a recent walk I took in Curtin Wetland. Birding highlights were a Marsh Wren and a Willow Flycatcher. The flycatcher was more cooperative than the wren, as you will see. Other birds were Great Blue Heron, Green Heron and 2 female Wood Ducks. I did a little creative work with three of the images and converted them to B&W. Curtin Weland is a mitgation wetland that was constructed about 16 years ago (1993, 1994).
