Rails and Wrens at the Nature Preserve

July 11 Email:

Hi Ric,

Members of your group may be interested in knowing that I've been getting good sightings of both a pair of Virginia Rails and several Marsh Wrens at the Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve.  I've just stood quietly on the boardwalk to the observation deck and during times when there aren't many other people around, both species will come out in the open occasionally.  I also saw three fledgling Marsh Wrens on Sunday, but I wasn't able to get a photo of them.  Feel free to post any of the photos that I've attached.
