Weather Conditions: 62 degrees, little to no wind, 100 percent cloud cover to sun breaking through. The view across the marsh was briefly very sharp until the sun started peeking through. Then the distant views became quickly distorted.
Other Activity: I only had a brief look at this nest when there was full cloud cover and a clear view across the marsh. The moment the sun came out a bit, this view was way too distorted to see the nest.
Observation Method: through scope from Island Rd.
