first time at this marsh and I was amazed at the field of american lotus. What a beauty of a landscape and ecosystem. The flowers are over a foot in diameter. These buds must have been 6-7 inches. The birds were "regular size!"

Notice how the puddle of water in the depressed center of this dead leaf was giving enough hydration to the still living part of this beautiful lotus leaf.
This is what happens when there are no birds wanting their picture taken!
