March 21, 2015   Pisgah Marsh and Tri-County FWA

Twelve members of Stockbridge Audubon Society birded Pisgah Marsh and Tri-County FWA today. The weather started out pretty cool and cloudy, but eventually became warm and sunny, just about the time that we were ending the trip.
   The waterfowl numbers weren't quite what we were hoping for, with only eight species counted, but we have a good showing of both Hooded Mergansers and Ring-necked Ducks. Our total species count was 46.
