Title: Rattray Marsh - August 23
Post by: Brian Bailey on August 23, 2013, 09:57:34 PM
I visited Rattray Marsh this afternoon hoping for shorebirds.  Not much luck on that: I tallied 3 spotties and a single Semipalmated Sandpiper. It was very quiet in the marsh and surroundings.  The lake viewing partially made up for it. I found a Horned Grebe while counting 130 Red-necked Grebes offshore.  

The other unexpected treat was a Northern Waterthrush bobbing its way along the edge of the cattails.
