Hi folks, Before I report the results of the Magee Marsh Bird Census, I wanted to inform anyone planning a visit to Magee Marsh that the Sportsmen's Migratory Bird Center will be closed on Friday, August 20 due to a district-wide meeting. Please direct any questions or concerns to Scott Butterworth, Wildlife Management Supervisor. He can be reached at 419-429-8360 or [log in to unmask] Under sunny skies and cooler weather, the monthly bird count was conducted on Tuesday, August 17 between 8:00 and 12:30 P.M.
