September Bird Walk - Ledge Road, Horicon Marsh


(Photo of Great Blue Heron ...)
Birding in the rain may not be everyone's favorite activity, but it didn't stop the intrepid Jefferson / Dodge Counties Birdwalkers. The rain didn't last long but it did get us wet on an otherwise fine day for walking. We were able to see a wide variety of perching birds and waterfowl. This included a number of warbler species. We had good looks at a Yellow-rumped Warbler, Redstart, Palm Warblers and a Tennessee Warbler. We had not so good looks at other warblers which we were not able to identify due to only having quick looks. The warbler migration clearly was still underway. A full list of species seen follows.

Below is a complete list of bird species identified.
