Hi folks,

 

Before I report the results of the Magee Marsh Bird Census, I wanted to
inform anyone planning a visit to Magee Marsh that the Sportsmen's
Migratory Bird Center will be closed on Friday, August 20 due to a
district-wide meeting. Please direct any questions or concerns to Scott
Butterworth, Wildlife Management Supervisor. He can be reached at
419-429-8360 or [log in to unmask]
