With the recent sighting of a Glossy Ibis (not around the past couple of days) at this hotspot, there might be some of you planning a trip to check it out. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the land owners have opened a beaver dam and much of the water near the gate is draining. Still appears to be standing water well out into the field judging by the egrets that can be seen, and the marshy area to the southeast of the gate will probably remain wet. And there is still some standing water near the field gate, but unless we get some significant rain I suspect that it will soon dry up. This is still a good birding spot, but probably not as good as it was last week.

Note to Hot Spot managers: I think this should be New Port Landing Road Marsh, not Point.
