Goose Pond FWA and Greene-Sullivan State Forest
May 5-7, 2018 



Fifteen members of Fort Wayne's Stockbridge Audubon chapter spent the weekend at Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area and the adjacent Greene-Sullivan State Forest. There were not too many waterfowl or shorebirds, but this was more than offset by excellent close-up looks at some species not often found in the Fort Wayne area, and by a fairly good warbler wave. A total of 115 species were recorded.
