A photograph of a panoramic view of the Bittern Marsh Loop at sunset at the Merced NWR.
Since I’m always trying to find new locations to photograph at the Merced NWR, I decided to try my luck at the Bittern Marsh Trail. Why this location? This season the rangers filled the Bittern Marsh pond and there is no grass protruding through the water. This evening I was pleased to see one of the most beautiful sunsets this season here.
