Following the thread about spooking birds, I would also like to ask birders to follow the traffic laws when on a Federal Wildlife Refuge. As I left the Ibises at Benning about 8:30 AM, another vehicle began to follow me out, only to turn around and drive the wrong way back to Benning Marsh so that he could take photos from the driver side of his car (while facing the oncoming traffic). It’s behavior like this that results in more restrictions and areas being closed to all visitors.
Besides for the Ibises, a large variety of ducks are present along the wildlife drive (most in the cattails of the main pool). A very large number of Rusty & RW Blackbirds are around South Spring Pool as well as numerous YR Warblers.
