Hey everyone- I took advantage of the nice day and headed out to the 140th St. marsh and the 180th St. marsh to see what's around. As others have reported, the 140th St. marsh is bone dry and may be lost as a birding hotspot. The 180th St. marsh on the other hand was really fun. Highlights included 9 species of waterfowl:
Gadwall American Widgeon Mallard Blue-winged Teal Northern Shoveler Northern Pintail Green-winged Teal Ring-necked Duck Lesser Scaup Also saw FOY Am. Kestrel, Turkey Vulture and Song Sparrow. Roger Everhart Apple Valley, MN http://minnesotabirdnerd.blogspot.com http://www.ncbo.org
