HI All, Just returned from the St Marys Fish Hatchery. Nothing unusual! Canada Geese, Ringbilled Gulls, Killdeer by the 100s, Regina's Ruddy Duck, Mallards and a couple of yellow legs. HOWEVER, Please remember!! This is hunting season! There will be hunters afield trying their best to take home a duck or goose. Permits are issued for M/W/F/Saturday mornings. So BE CAREFUL!!!! Remember, its the hunters that contribute the monies for many of these areas so we birders can enjoy them. Did you purchase your duck stamp??
