John guided us on Haven Road, the Nature Trail, and the Horseshoe Trail and parking area. Birds were singing everywhere. John shared the history of the development of the Marsh with us as well as some of the changes in birds’ breeding patterns and populations. We saw Bald Eagles soaring and their nest. Yellow Warblers were everywhere. A special treat was the Cerulean Warbler. John led us up and down the road until we all had good views of it.
Some of us followed John’s suggestions for the afternoon and birded the Deli fields and Stop Sign Trails.
It was a wonderful day!
