One Least Bittern at Standifer Gap Marsh
9 AM August 16, 2002
among cattails at north margin of water.

One Solitary Sandpiper

Three Sandpipers which looked like Semipalmated.

Two Hummers,- I'm always surprised to see them among the cattails and water
plants.

Dick's Sporting Goods, across from Gunbarrel Road Walmart, has nice
hip-waders for $20 (they have some almost as nice up to $200).  Waders and a
5-foot walking stick make it easy to explore the marsh.  They are good for
the tall wet weeds, poison ivy, and briars, as well as for the muck and
water.  Try them on; I found I needed a 9 instead of my 10 shoe size.
