Hi Ann, the diging you saw is being done to provide more open water in the dry marsh. The soil that is being removed will be used to raise the Wildlife Drive. This soil can not be removed form the Refuge as it may contain nematodes and other undesierable things that might be invasive. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ann Mitchell To: CAYUGABIRDS-L Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2011 7:09 PM Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Larues
Hi All, I was at Montezuma today, and noticed that the workers were rototilling at Larues. The ground was dry and, hopefully, will have some water soon. YES! I did not have a scope with me, so I had to rely on 10 power binos. At the Visitor Center around 2:30 P.M. there were both Yellow Legs, a Stilt and two Great Egrets. At the shorebird spot, nothing new. Both areas have a lot of vegetation. Anyone know what is going on at the back side of the wild life drive? There is fantastic dirt there that could be sold as a fund raiser.
