The Marsh Discovery Trail is open again, most of the way. We'll see how it is affected by the expected heavy rains, but an open trail sure is a sign of spring. (Repairs are planned for the remaining storm-damaged section.)
Plenty of Ducks at DeKorte. A quick lunchtime check yesterday found Bufflehead, Gadwall, Green-winged Teal (in Teal Pool), Northern Shoveler, Northern Pintail, Ruddy, Hooded Merganser, Canvasback, Common Merganser, Black Duck and Mallard. That's 11 species.
It was a nice, sunny day today and the gate was locked. :p
Sorry to hear the gate was locked, but it was the day after a huge storm. As I said in the post, we’d have to see how the trail was affected by heavy rains. Wish I had heard sooner — not sure about the weekend at this point.
Thank you for letting us know!
