Wow - our 🌅sunrise paddle on the Maumee was so beautiful, peaceful, and chock full of birds! See bird list below ⬇️ We paddled around the Audubon Islands to check out the extensive and impressive mitigation measures taken to restore, protect, and ensure the integrity and vitality of the area in and around the islands. Thank you to Maumee Tackle - Fishing, Kayaking & Shooting Outfitters for the rentals; you are the best! The breeze and view during yoga was just perfect 🤩 Join us for a 🌄sunset paddle at Howard Marsh on Saturday, September 19; we will gather for yoga at 5 pm then get in the water around 6 pm to enjoy the evening bird activity and sunset. There is nothing quite like seeing all of the white egrets coming home to roost at day’s end! Register at  https://jennifer-mccullough.square.site/s/order
