So I have been incredibly lucky to have surrounded myself with the most incredible group of banders and people who love the marsh. From the folks behind the scenes who try to convince people to donate to the marsh and arrange fund raiser like the golf tournament and marsh social to the front runners who are rising like zombies before the sign rises and now that we are banding owls who resign themselves to a semi zombie state for the next month. I really do consider myself very lucky. The other luck I have is to see folks flocking to the marsh to see the birds that we are all so interested in seeing thrive.
By nature of our zombie state the blog will be very inconsistent in terms of timing and content but we will be making the effort to get it out when we can and to try and capture for a moment in time the excitement we are experiencing at the marsh. What follows is a photo blitz of some of the birds we have been getting at the marsh the last few days. i thought it fitting that our 10,000 bird was a white throated sparrow symbolic of the year with its sweet Canada Canada !!!

Like us while we are proud of the accomplishments we have made banding so many birds but we also recognize
the accomplishment is only due to where we band the beautiful boreal forest and the people we can attract to the marsh. I celebrate both!!!!
