Hi folks, Mary Warren, naturalist at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, will be leading a shorebird hike this Saturday, Aug 7. They will meet at the Sportsmen's Migratory Bird Center at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area at 8 AM. From there they will carpool to Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge to visit some shorebird habitat that will hopefully yield some good birds! Having attended the shorebird walk last year, I know that a number of visitors were disappointed that we were not allowed to drive back to view the shorebirds last August. I wanted to convey that the group will be allowed to drive a limited number of vehicles on the refuge road for this field trip. Walking a great distance should not be an impediment, and I just wanted to communicate this to folks that we thinking about joining the group.
