Hi folks,
Sorry for the late post, but the monthly bird count at Magee Marsh
occurred on Tuesday, Sept. 22. 68 species were recorded. We have been
getting reports of decent activity at the boardwalk. Also, some
shorebird habitat has appeared in the marsh, along the west side of the
park road near the second gravel pull-off going towards the lake. The
habitat attracted lesser yellowlegs, a single black-bellied plover, a
snipe, and a couple pectorals. As a reminder, the park road will be
closed at the entrance to the Sportsmen's Migratory Bird Center starting
October 12. The road will be closed Monday-Friday and Saturday mornings
through November. Here is the comprehensive list:
