April 9, 2016 Limberlost Swamp, Loblolly Marsh, Red Gold, Rainbow Lake
If it had been January on the Lakefront, conditions today wouldn't have been bad, but for April 9 in northeast Indiana, it was bitterly cold. Nevertheless, 20 birders from Stockbridge, Mississinewa, and Robert Cooper Audubon Societies gathered for a field trip of the Limberlost area, in and around Geneva. Curt Burnette and Randy Lehman from the Limberlost State Historical Site were our guides.
We found a total of 32 species at four sites.
