The Area Wildlife Manager today reported that there is approximately half (80 acres or so) of our Malardi Lake (near Montrose) drawdown project that is exposed mudflat, and that there were huge masses of shorebirds foraging out on the mudflats. From the Wildlife Management Area parking lot, one can walk out a path through the cattails to the edge of the mudflat without getting your feet wet as well. Be safe, make sure you stay on WMA property unless you ask other landowners for permission, and have a great time birding (I'd like to know what people find as well!!).
