The warm southern winds brought in some great birds today. It's time to use those vacation days that you have been saving! The weekend should be great as well. We will doing a Bird Walk at 8:30 tomorrow (Saturday) morning. We leave from the west end of the Boardwalk. Come join us! The Friends of Magee Marsh will be offering coffee and donuts in the bird center. Some of the highlights for today were: warblers: Nashville Yellow BT Green Pine Palm Black and White Prothonotary Ovenbird Kentucky Hooded Cape May Worm eating Grand slam on thrushes: hermit, wood, veery, gray-cheeked, and Swanson's. Nice looks at purple finches. White-eyed and blue-headed vireos. Savannah, swamp, and Lincoln's sparrows. A least flycatcher! Scarlet tanager. Great horned owl nesting near 18B on an old snag, pretty low. Not real easy to see. Happy Birding!! Mary L. Warren Wildlife Communications Specialist Magee Marsh Wildlife Area 13229 W.
