This last spring I was informed by another local birder that 40th Avenue =
West is off limits to the public. This area is being managed by the =
Army Corp of Engineers and one of the workers in the area asked this =
local birder to leave the area as it is unsafe to the public. This =
local birder is in communications with the Army Corps and is trying to =
find out when the area will be open to the public when the Army Corp =
finishes the restructuring of the dikes.
I noticed since May that a few birders entered this area and reported =
some birds to this listserv. I am asking ALL birders to stay out of =
40th Avenue West until we have clearance from the Army Corp of Engineers =
to allow us back in. We cannot afford to lose this great birding spot =
due to trespassing birders!! This news about 40th Avenue being off =
limits to the public maybe new to all of you and I hope you pass this =
around so others will respect the request of the Army Corps.
The good news that I heard about 40th Ave West is that the corp. removed =
all the brush and plants in the main pool and it looks favorable for =
shorebirds again! All we need to do is wait for the OK to allow us back =
in. =20
