Another year at Magee Marsh
Common Yellow-Throat It was another great year at Magee Marsh! For those of you not familiar with Magee Marsh, it is a small area on the southern shore of Lake Erie in Ohio that is a major stopping point in their spring migration. It is considered a major birding site and is visited every year by people from around the world. I enjoy Magee for the birds, but also the great people I've come to know over the years. This year gave us a great diversity in species, but not numbers. I typically go for the first two weekends of May as this is typically the height of the migration The weather was horrible! I have never had to shoot Magee Marsh in a winter coat. This year was the exception! It was cold and cloudy all but one day. Not only did this result in high-ISO photography, but it completely changed the way I typically shoot Magee. Friday, May 3 -- I arrived late this year, so I missed the morning shoot. Mornings are typically my best time but in the end
