few shorebirds, most on drying slough nearby; Marsh Wren 6+; Sedge Wren 6+
(one group a probable family); 10 spp warblers; Dickcissel 1; Lincoln's
Sparrow (several).

Short-eared Owl 1; Marsh Wren 1; Lincoln's Sparrow 3.
If I missed something anyone else considered a highlight, please chime in
:o)
Kudos to all the persistent participants of our Sat/Sun marshing. Copious
rainfall this summer has resulted in an especially lush growth of wet-ground
vegetation that made the walking/wading awfully difficult. Thanks is also
extended to those individuals who helped to lead "sub-groups" off into the
wilds of the WMA.
