After a quick stop at Benton-Carrol's flooded field near Magee Marsh, I arrived at the boardwalk about 1pm and saw 10 warbler species before I got out of my car. With warblers in virtually every tree and many down low, I birded till 7pm. I then made a quick stop at Ottawa NWR, Metzger Marsh and Teachout Road's flooded field, and the beach at Maumee Bay State Park. The next morning I reversed the order and arrived at Magee's boardwalk about 10am. There were twice as many people and half as many birds on Friday. Only 19 species--1 warbler--were added on Friday. Caps simply indicate my first sighting this spring. Altogether I saw: Pied-billed Grebe Double-crested Cormorant AMERICAN BITTERN - from boardwalk tower platform Great Blue Heron Great Egret CATTLE EGRET - Magee entrance road Green Heron GLOSSY IBIS - 4 at Metzger Mute Swan Canada Goose - one pair had 16 goslings!
