We were walking through an area called STanfield Marsh when we would see these western bluebirds, fly up from the ground and perch on these very thin branched wheat looking bushes. There were many of them - it must be the season for them up there. The marsh has little water in it now - mostly just close to the little island out in the middle. A few years back the whole area was beautiful with lots of water.
The whole marsh is quite a walk if you leave from the bridge area and go across to behind the houses where there is a road that leads up to the hwy. We finally took it and it was a good work out because some of the wheat looking plants are taller in some areas and the marsh bed is damp from snow that melted and sunk in.
