DPI-SIG Outing Notes 3/19/2013
I. The April 15th, Monday, DPI-SIG Outing with Arthur Sissman, an avid birder, will be to Marsh Trail – Ten Thousand Islands NWR. The Marsh Trail parking lot is 15 minutes from US 41 & Collier Blvd.
According to Arthur: “It is a bird rookery at night for all kinds of wading birds. Must arrive before sunrise to see the birds awaken and head out to work!” Since sunrise on 4/15/2013 is at 7:04 AM we should meet in the Marsh Trail parking lot at 6:45 AM.
I was there 40 minutes after sunrise last week and observed a dozen Roseate Spoonbills fly in formation over the parking lot before I had a chance to get my camera!
So . ………. . late comers will miss the show!
