Magee marsh monthly bird count March 17

It was a beautiful day out in the marsh today!! Thanks to Chris Knoll, Shane Roberts and the volunteers on the Observation Tower for their help today!
We saw a total of 57 species. Lots of great waterfowl.
Also saw snakes, frogs, turtles and even a beaver too!
Come out to Magee Marsh soon to see what you can find! Stop at the Bird Center for the latest sightings.
Happy Birding!
