In the distant past of my life, I had occasion to spend time on several Army bases in the south. Indeed, many US military bases hold vast amounts of relatively un-used, un-manicured land and are therefore good places to find a lot of varied wildlife and many bird species. Unfortunately, there is always a threat of massive re-use of such sites, as is cited in the Watertown Times article.

An excerpt from the article says "The Fort Drum site would have a 1,219-acre footprint, about 200 acres larger than other sites. The Drum site would require the clearing of 996 acres of forests, shrub areas and grasslands." "There is also some concern that the site placements at Fort Drum and Camp Ravenna could negatively affect surface water streams" I know that many of us have enjoyed going to see the grassland species of birds at Fort Drum that we don't find in many other places. This would certainly have a negative impact on them. http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/news03/new-study-says-fort-drum-missile-site-could-bring-jobs-tax-revenue-20160602 Ginny Alfano Cleveland, NY __._,_.___ ________________________________ Posted by: Ginny Alfano <ginnyalfan...@gmail.com<mailto:ginnyalfan...@gmail.com>> ________________________________ Reply via web post<https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/oneidabirds/conversations/messages/14535;_ylc=X3oDMTJycmp0ZWliBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NTk5NzU0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2NTc4NwRtc2dJZAMxNDUzNQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNycGx5BHN0aW1lAzE0NjUwNDI3MDU-?act=reply&messageNum=14535> • Reply to sender <mailto:ginnyalfan...@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20Fort%20Drum> • Reply to group <mailto:oneidabi...@yahoogroups.com?subject=Re%3A%20Fort%20Drum> • Start a New Topic<https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/oneidabirds/conversations/newtopic;_ylc=X3oDMTJmZ20xYWtlBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NTk5NzU0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2NTc4NwRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNudHBjBHN0aW1lAzE0NjUwNDI3MDU-> • Messages in this topic<https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/oneidabirds/conversations/topics/4275;_ylc=X3oDMTM2OTFrcjZyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE2NTk5NzU0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2NTc4NwRtc2dJZAMxNDUzNQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawN2dHBjBHN0aW1lAzE0NjUwNDI3MDUEdHBjSWQDNDI3NQ--> (6) ________________________________ [Image removed by sender.] Have you tried the highest rated email app?<https://yho.com/1wwmgg> With 4.5 stars in iTunes, the Yahoo Mail app is the highest rated email app on the market.
