SUMMARY:Birding South Musquash Marsh with Susanne Bonnell
DESCRIPTION:The South Musquash Marsh is a small portion of the NBCC Musquash Estuary Marine Protected Area. The area we will be visiting has been part of the Maritime Marsh Monitoring program for several years and is checked each year for American bittern\, Least Bittern\, Pied-billed Grebe\, Sora\, Virginia rail\, American Coot\, Common Gallinule\, Nelson’s Sparrow\, Marsh Wren\, Black Tern and Willet. \nThe plan is to bird the woodland trail to the marsh but not stopping over long just practicing our listening skills in preparation for our time on the marsh. \nTo maximize the experience on this trip there will be no electronic callings or phishing.\nThe quieter the group can be while we are on the marsh\, the more likely we are to hear and see some of the above marsh birds but also the other numerous birds that inhabit any marsh.\nThe walking surface is flat\, however; it can be muddy in spots and may have some sinkholes once we are out on the marsh berm.
