What a wonderful morning I had today at Magee Marsh, outside of Toledo, Ohio, birding with my Twitter friend Dona and her husband Dean.
We‘ve chatted for years on Twitter and email about PDFs and birdwatching, but this was the first time we met in person.
So glad they had time to stop in at the boardwalk so I could share one of my favorite birdwatching locations.
We spent a few hours on the boardwalk, and managed to see almost two dozen birds, along with some great looking turtles. Here’s a partial list of the birds we saw today:
- Wilson’s Warbler
- Magnolia Warbler
- Baltimore Oriole
- Purple Martin
- Blackburnian Warbler
- Yellow Warbler
- Great Horned Owls babies on tree limbs (last Saturday they were still on the nest)
- Sandhill Crane
- Great Egret
- American Redstart
- Northern Parula
- Red-winged Blackbird
- Black and White Warbler
- Gray Catbird
- American Robin
- Canada Geese
- Double-crested Cormorant
- Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
- Ruby-crowned Kinglet
- Nashville Warbler
