Some of the Wildlife you could see...

Squirrel

On a hot summer evening you may get to see
a fox squirrel just hanging around.

When you take the time to get outside and visit
the Marsh any time of the year, you
can get to see some incredible sights.

This photo was taken late on a
hot, humid summer evening.

Mink

Chance encounter with a monk on the boardwalk

You could have a chance encounter with
a mink as we did on a sunny afternoon
in March if the wind is in your favor.

Birds

On the Boardwalk during spring migration
the birds can sometimes be as curious
about us as we are of them.

This Chestnut sided warbler was
almost too close to photograph.

Birding can be spectacular from late April
to the end of May as thousands of migratory
birds move through northwest Ohio.
