Al,

Some of those issues have already been decided.

Q:  Is the Service restricting access to the location where the bird 
was found?

Beginning immediately, the Service has established a managed access 
area of approximately 5,000 acres within the Bayou DeView drainage from 
Highway 38 southward to Dagmar WMA.  Only researches will be allowed 
access into this area.

Q:  Is access limited to the entire refuge?

No.  Over 55,000 acres representing the majority of the refuge is still 
open to the public. For all permitted public use activities, including 
hunting, fishing and boating.

Q:  How can I see the bird?

The Service expects an influx of birders from across the country and 
beyond to come see the bird.  The best opportunity for birders to add 
this bird to their life list is on the adjacent Dagmar Wildlife 
Management Area.
