Last night's meeting was really great. There were close to 70 people including business owners and town officials who want to market to birders and residents were just curious with what is going on. The Mayor of Floodwood actually said, "Anything McDavitt township can do for birders, we want to do it."
Public restrooms, bird feeding areas, potential parking areas were all discussed. This is going in a great direction and the town of Meadowlands is really excited about promoting their sewage ponds. Incidentally, the owner of the Country Store in Meadowlands is selling shirts, she has a cute one available about birding in Sax Zim Bog. You can see the logo on my blog: http://www.birdchick.com/blog.html Birding in this area is going to get better with all the different groups working together and keeping respectful communication lines open. -- Sharon Stiteler Minneapolis, MN www.birdchick.com
