No matter how many times one sees a bird, it's always exciting to see it again for the first time each season! I was off yesterday and went to Resthaven Wildlife Area , Sheldon Marsh and Edison Woods. (all in Erie county) Saw my first killdeer, they were singing everywhere. When I stepped out of my car at Resthaven I flushed up a woodcock. At Edison woods the trees were filled with red-winged blackbirds singing away (one of my favorite sounds of spring) This is the "in between time" when we get to see our wintering birds, and well as the spring migrants. As for Magee, we are still pretty much froze up, but after the warm weekend, a few more spots should open up. A good report from Metzger's Marsh, just west of here, that there were a fair number of waterfowl. Hope to see many of you at our 15th annual Lake Erie Wing WAtch event on April 14th.
