September Bird Walk - Zeloski Marsh

On our September walk we returned to Zeloski Marsh. We were joined on this walk by members of the Madison Audubon Society. A small but interested group had a good look at the marsh, and a number of birds as noted in the listing below. This was our final walk of the season and while it's sad to see the walks end for the year, we're already looking forward to good times during next season's walks. The birds will be ready and so will we.
