WFB 195 Day 1 @ Ausable Marsh, 5/24/2021

Date --- 5/24/2021
Start Time --- 7:15 AM
End Time --- 12:30 PM
Location --- Ausable Marsh Wildlife Management Area, Peru, VT 12972
Weather --- (Temperature) = 70 degrees Fahrenheit, or ~ 21 degrees Celsius ... (Wind) = 2mph N/NE ... (Precipitation) = none. Almost entirely sunny.
Habitats --- Along Ausable Beach Road ... the pavement and outlining large rocks separate the two portions of the water body. Open water for the most part along this portion of the marsh, but emerging vegetation begins to arise about a half mile out. Some mud flats line the parts of the road where open water is not seen, the marshy. A beach can be accessed farther into the area, and docks extending out onto the emergent vegetation can be used to view open water. After seeing the Great Blue Heron, I decided to drive to the back side of the marsh, only accessible by deeply wooded trail that ducks under the train tracks. Upon walking further along the Ausable River, a watershed is reached. A grassy trail extends for miles across the water body, eventually into a forest with some mud flats. One odd thing I noticed about the edge of this habitat were a series of dead trees that looked peculiar in their stance and stature.

Great day for birding and I can't wait for Day 2!
