Many of you probably know that spring/summer flooding has resulted in indefinite closure of Black Dog Road, essentially cutting of access to viewing gulls and other birds on the lake. See article below:
http://www.thisweeklive.com/2010/07/01/time-to-abandon-black-dog-road/ I recently contact the Xcel power plant manager, Tom Fallgren, inquiring about viewing opportunities for the 2010 fall/winter season. Here is Tom's response: "Sounds good. We have had some changes to this area but are still committed to ensuring you can get access to the gulls". So, this is good news indeed . I will be in Australia most of November but will coordinate with Tom so that we can access the property in December in time for prime viewing. Stay tuned...
