NotesThe reeds in the wetland are now so lush that nests can no longer be seen. During previous visits I observed 2 nests. A Masked weaver was in attendance. It looks like a male but somehow acted like a "chick" by fluttering its wings and chirping. This is only my second Masked Weaver sighting in the area.
