All,
This place can be a potential model for Montezuma.

It is much larger but it is only for pedestrians and birds are close to the
boardwalk and also far away. Wouldn't
those birds who are more skittish stay farther away from the pedestrians?

Many interesting points have been mentioned and certainly are worthwhile
exploring
if they fall within the purview of MNWR. 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
If the following is true why there is hunting allowed on the refuge? Is it
better than foot traffic just disturbing them to some extent?
It seems refuge managers are interfering with the nature in variety of ways by
changing the habitats constantly. For example Benning Marsh was one of the
they were not interfering with any of the management plans. How do you know

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!

Have all you birders considered buying a duck stamp to help Pay for all these
wildlife refuges we use enjoy?
I just bought mine at the US Post Office for $15. It has a beautiful painting
of Canvasbacks.
Yep, hunters go there too, but if we want large habitats like this to be
preserved
Yes, I agree that more birders could support the national wildlife refuges
by purchasing these beautiful stamps!
The Friends of the Migratory Bird/Duck Stamp have great information on
their web site: http://www.friendsofthestamp.org . They also sell the
stamps in plastic holders that you can
Hi all,
One more important thing about wildlife drive and foot traffic - It is the
small amount of the area which will be disturbed for birds (not for insects and
other lowly creatures) compared to the area that is available for the wildlife,
some hundreds of acres. 28.33 km2 is the refuge area
We need to start thinking outside of the box when it comes to nature. Our
culture has been conditioned to think of ourselves as being separate from
nature, i.e., modernism and the machine. I think the Montezuma wildlife drive
is a perfect example of that modernistic paradigm that is quickly
Meena,
The duck stamp sales go DIRECTLY to the National Wildlife Refuge system.
$15 of your tax money would have only a tiny fraction supporting the refuge
system. Mostly, it is the duck hunters who fund the refuge system through
the purchase of duck stamps. Birders who enjoy the NWRs might also
I bought my Duck Stamp from the ABA to ensure that my contribution was marked
as non-hunter revenue - not that I deny the many contributions of hunters to
the preservation of our natural lands! That just doesn't represent me best.

You can also buy them at the gift shop at the Montezuma refuge visitors
center.
The Friends don't make anything on them, Chuck Gibson (president if the
Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex) buys them so we can have them
available to those interested.

I presume this represents one or more families.

This might just be an Ithaca policy. We get one every year haven't
done that yet for 2014-15, but at least as of last year we always were
able to pick it up at our local post office in Ovid.
