Hello birders--on yet another rainy day ! I have just received a phone call from the Municipal office. Staff at the lagoons will be having a major "brush-burn" over a period of possibly 2 months--beginning Tues. Aug. 04-2009. During this time slot--NO BIRDERS/ VISITORS--will be allowed on the fenced- in grounds. Please respect this rule. I will send you notice when this project is complete, hopefully well before our Convention in October.
For those interested, presently Pond 3 is drawn down, and there is excellent habitat for shorebirds. Several species are there now. Hopefully, others will arrive in late Sept. & October. BUT---you only have until Mon. Aug. 3rd. to view these birds. Anyone needing more info, please email me privately, thanks.
