   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi All</span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Yesterday evening I paddled a Stillwater in Keji.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">While passing a tall clump of what looked like dead grass,<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">its head turned as I went along. It was a well concealed Bittern.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Only its head movements gave it away.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Latter just as it was getting dark, 2 herons dropped in. They were<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">smaller versions of the Great Blue Heron and a little smaller than a Bittern. <br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Their colors was not visible - they looked a light grey. Good flyers - made <br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">some impressive turns. I have no idea as to their ID!<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Mayfly numbers are very much less than last week. Just a few but some<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">of the few were the big jobbies. A good mouthful for a swallow which<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">seemed quite common but were hawking very high in the air. With less<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Mayflies the Midges were quite plentiful but in very restricted places.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Trout knew these places so attracted me there. No doubt there is<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">various species of Midges but I&#39;m not even sure the proper name for<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">these little fellows is Midges!<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Black Flies are keeping most people away from the river<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">and makes it good for folks like me. Dragon flies - species unknown<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">were snacking on the Black Flies. First I&#39;ve seen this year.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy the spring along with the Black Flies!<br/></span>
