March Marsh Madness at Ponca State Park

  • Ponca State Park 88090 Spur 26 East Ponca, NE, 68770 United States (map)

Join us for a traditional waterfowler’s experience – a trip to a blind for up close views and photo opportunities of migrating swans, geese, ducks and others. We have arranged for use of Ponca State Park’s wildlife blinds on their North Unit’s wetland.

Meet us at the Ponca State Park Resource Center at 3:30 PM SUNDAY, March 17. We will tour the Park and the riverfront for waterfowl, eagles and other migrants. Following that, we will guide you to the Park’s North Unit grasslands for pheasants, hawks and migrating waterfowl overhead. The riverfront there also gives us opportunities for viewing migrants.

Dress in warm clothing and footwear as we will enter the blind around 6:00 PM to await the arrival at the marsh of feeding or migrating waterfowl. Temperatures plummet as the sun goes down so prepare for temperatures well below those during the afternoon. (On this particular day, GREEN camo will be quite appropriate.)

A daily or seasonal park pass will be required on each car entering the park. Arrange for carpooling with others to avoid unnecessary expense. For more information call Bill at 712-574-3107 or billfhuser@gmail.com

Remember: all LHAS outings are open to the public and offer an inviting way to begin birding and meet others with similar interests.
