Monarch of the Swamp
<p>Water levels are low at Nyleta Wetlands/Hasties Swamp.</p>
<p>They expose a muddy shore that encourages wading birds to stop by. Stilts and dotterels share the expanding edge with occasional Marsh and Sharp-tailed Sandpipers. Dense thickets of Slender Waterpepper (<em>Persicaria decipiens</em>, Polygonaceae) have died back. With the plant’s disappearance, Plumed Whistling-ducks, who liked to snooze among its grassy stems, have moved on to thicker pastures. Wandering Whistling-ducks have replaced them. Wanderers don’t much care for flooded jungles.</p>
