Spring Migration
April 10, 2026
Patty, the kids and I headed up to Boggy Slough in the Pascagoula Wildlife Management Area at daylight. We barely got off the highway before Patty said stop, there were birds singing all around us. It was a beautiful clear morning, the morning temperature was perfect; requiring a light jacket. Patty recorded 38 species and several of them were kind enough to let me get a photo.
