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
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.
Frogs & Other Species
The other three cards on this page
are just a tiny sample of the wildlife that
can be observed throughout the Marsh.
Apart from the birds, there are deer;
fox; beaver; groundhog; otter; muskrat;
turtles; snakes; lizards; frogs; salamader;
spiders; dragon and damsel flies; bees; wasps;
butterflies & moths; to list just a few.
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.
