October 26th. Removing the last of the forms.

 

 

By afternoon, they'd installed one storm drain

 

 

 

 

 

Nice views of the bridge edge details.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

October 28th. Red-winged Blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) were around. This male...

 

 

...and several females.

 

 

 

 

 

Early sun makes for nifty water colors, even if the Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) are backlit.

 

 

 

 

 

The crew very busy on storm drain work using two diggers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

October 29th. Heavy fog this morning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Backlit Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) in the fog again.

 

 

At Old Colchester Road, maybe filling in where storm drains were placed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heading back east.

 

 

 

 

 

A pair of Mallards on the sunny side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back at about 4 P.M. A second storm drain in place.

 

 

 

 

 

Both are visible in this photo.

 

 

 

 

 

October 30th. Hint of a sunrise.

 

 

October 31st. Just after dawn.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday, so all work paused for the weekend

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Glad they created a temporary crossing for the trail.
