Holcim Wetlands been closed for an undetermined period due to the unusually high running Arkansas River that was just over 30 feet from the wetland pond just a day or so ago broke through the bank and dissecting the trail. I have posted an aerial photo and one taken from the county road of Holcim Wetlands that I took this evening on the Colo Field Ornithologists facebook page <https://www.facebook.com/groups/129995222037/permalink/10152077028802038/>. They show that a good amount of water continues in the wetlands pond.
I am working with Holcim to get this damage stabilized as it is possible that the river will take out more land area. They will have to get some engineering done and permission from the Corps of Engineers first. I told Holcim Cement at the Comm Advisory Committee meeting tonight that many birders will be anxiously awaiting re-opening as the Least Bittern is a very sought after bird with Holcim Wetlands the most reliable location for it.
