The Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge has many opportunities for birders to
enjoy the auto tour route this month.  This week, with all of the extra
birders in the area for the Midwest Birding Symposium, the auto tour will
be open Thursday - Sunday, September 19th-22nd.

Next week, with the Federal Duck Stamp judging, and Cars for Critters Car
Show it will be again be open Thursday - Sunday, September 26-29th.

Birds of note from a quick trip through the route today were Wilson's
Snipe, Snowy Egrets, Greater Yellowlegs and some distant dowitcher's.
Water levels have been lowered in Unit 5, near stop 7 on the auto tour and
it is starting to attract some shorebirds.
