Took a walk on the Walking Trail on this balmy December day. Alas, not snowy owls but I did see about a dozen beautiful Fox Sparrows! Our final Bird Count for this year will be Tuesday , December 17th. We leave from the Bird Center at 8 am. Come join us if you can. This will be my last official count that I will be reporting on, as I will be retiring at the end of the month. This Sunday, December 8th, from noon-4pm is our annual Holiday Open House! Stop by for an enjoyable afternoon. Happy Birding! Mary L. Warren Wildlife Communications Specialist Magee Marsh Wildlife Area 13229 W.
