Hello Birders! The Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge auto tour will be open both Saturday and Sunday this weekend! The entrance gate will open at 9:00 a.m. and close at 4:00 p.m., and the exit gate will be closed at 5:30 p.m. The MS 5 unit has been drawn down for shorebird use. See the link below for a map of the auto tour: http://www.bsbo.org/birding/pdf/OttawaNWRMap-AutoTour.pdf Please be sure to pick up an auto tour guide at the route entrance - it will list recent sightings. Also, feel free to stop in at the Visitor Center and let us know what you saw. Thanks! Laura A.
