Leque Island

I had visited there last Thursday and posted about its reversion from 250 acres of agricultural land back into the original salt-marsh. Here are two photos from that day. It was overcast so the images are not that photogenic. I keep track of extreme tides (which these were) and will take some more photos when I get better light.

Low tide:

And High Tide:

Quite the difference. Every time I drive over the bridge, there are more and more birds. It will be interesting to see what it is like in about a year when the ecology stabilizes. I was very much into salt marshes when living in Boston and majoring in marine biology. Fascinating systems - so much going on. So many interlinked cycles.
