Hi All,
I might as well put my head on the chopping block here too. As a photographer,
I have to agree with Marie. Today there was hardly a bird within distance to
photograph, and catching up with the people in front of me, they were all out
of the car with scopes. There were no shorebirds left
The whole "out of the car" issue is why I wish there were photo/viewng blinds
in the area across the road, where people could pull off the main drive into
the old trail parking lot and share scopes, provide assistance, and take photos

One of the ways a person can volunteer at the Refuge is by being a

For this morning's bird walk, we had a flock of about a dozen rusty
blackbirds near Sherwood Platform, first foraging low by one of the small
ponds, then gathering in one of the trees. Also there were some
