Magee Marsh and Ottawa Auto Drive 5-5-2018

Another great day (May 5, 3018) birding. Went to the boardwalk and estuary trail at Magee Marsh and did the auto drive at Ottawa.

Managed a couple new birds for the year.

Highlights were the Sora on the Magee boardwalk and a Common Gallinule (Moorhen) on the Ottawa Auto Drive. Also we saw some Blandings Turtles on the Estuary Trail

The warm weather had plenty of critters out, frogs, snakes, muskrats and gnats!
