Leslie Gibbens & I will be leading canoe tours of Rankin Bottoms on  
Saturday, May 8 at 8:30 & 11:00 A.M.  We have a limited number of  
canoes, or space on board,  available for those who don't have their  
own canoe or kayak.
  We'll be exploring the riparian edges and  interior of the flooded   
forest  of the the Wildlife Observation Area and neighboring tracts.   
The region has a singular swamp-like quality and attracts    a wide  
variety of birds, and other wildlife.  High numbers of great egrets,  
green herons, wood ducks, ospreys, cormorants and prothonotary  
warblers are the norm.  On or about May 8, we typically find 7 or 8  
shorebird species;  rarities include  black-necked stilts and glossy  
ibises.

Donations to the Rankin Bottoms Project, which supports activities to  
promote careful use and to maintain and improve wildlife habitat in  
the area, will be accepted.
