| Salutations, The East Pond water level is looking very good and at the moment we are likely to meet our drawdown goals. However, I want to warn folks that we may not see the levels we did last season as it was drier. What does that mean you ask? Well, it means that you may not likely see the expansive dried out shorelines like we did last season. I began trail maintenance about a week ago with some work on the South-end and I will continue to work on the South-end and start the North-end soon. It is still very early for Shorebird migration but some birds are trickling in. Short-billed Dowitchers, Lesser Yellowlegs, Greater Yellowlegs, and a handful of peeps so far. I would not take this post as an invitation to make the schlep out there just yet. Just as a heads up that all is looking good for Shorebirding on the pond.
