Pax Nortona – A Blog by Joel Sax

Yesterday, we took another trip to the Upper Newport Bay Nature Reserve. Due to the crowds and the signage, I couldn’t get close to the land for some nice closeups as I had three weeks ago. The water water everywhere kept pricking me with memories of the flood we had last week. The air, however, smelled cleaner than the rugs which are still drying out.

At one point, we saw a cluster of egrets and herons that I am told make regular use of the place. Other than that the birding was pretty lame and the wildflowers sparse. This has not been a good year.
