I just got off the East Pond and I am pleased to report that despite the north end still submerged, adequate shoreline has opened up on the south end of the East Pond.
I have asked NPS to put the hose out for those us who are ready and chomping at the bit to shorebird. I"ll have a blog post up on how to bird the pond given many areas are still under water but for those who have experience birding the pond, I think it is ready. Only 7 species of shorebirds around this morning. More details will be on my post and photos of the areas to be wary of when venturing out onto the pond.
