Yes, wildlife refuges are not "nature parks", they are set aside to provide a refuge…for the wildlife, a refuge from HUMANS and their encroachment!

Certainly out of car areas could be established once the major construction is complete. The north area would be ideal and still allow the first portion of the drive through Benning to be pedestrian free. But, before we go saying things like MNWR is a bug and butterfly refuge or primarily a place to bird and study nature we should know what a NWR is and specifically what Montezuma is supposed to do. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
