A marsh on a still and windless morning in spring has a timeless feel. A thin fog might partially veil the wetlands and a rich, earthy smell fills the air. It’s a primal scene, the essence of a now verdant earth coming back to life. As the first light of the bluish dawn drowns out the stars, the riotous songs of the peepers start to wind down and the marsh slowly becomes silent again.
