Flushed a couple of juvenile night herons as I walked closed to the ponds, but only got a couple of photos - they are very secretive and shy

Same visit, only the next morning - Canadian Geese with their chicks!

I had the refuge to myself at the early hour, and as I turned a quiet corner on the path, there was the Northern Harrier, sitting in the morning stillness on a tree stump.
