On this tour we will explore one of Dodge County’s other marshes. Most of the 4,500-acre Mud Lake Wildlife Area is floodplain marsh, dominated by river bulrush and other aquatic plants. The Beaver Dam River runs through the heart of the property where it joins the Crawfish River at the southern portion. There is a mixture of forested hardwoods and grasslands in the outer areas. Mud Lake Wildlife Area is a great spot for marshland birds.
Possible birds include American Bitterns, Soras, American White Pelicans, Black and Forster’s Terns, Bald Eagles and a variety of warblers.
Bring your usual birding things. NO lunch provided on this trip. Bathrooms will be single port-a-potty stop along the way. Tour could be heavy walking with up to a half mile of walking at a time along multiple DNR service trails.
Bus departs at 7:00am SHARP. We will bird several habitats around the marsh and return to the Reeseville Community Center at 12:00pm.
Registration with payment required.
