Improved by the removal of 162 tons of debris. The bulldozer and crane also took out a lot of fragmite (sp?) which should make spring migration more interesting and viewable. Jim provided very fashionable boots which enabled us to flush two snipe. Although we saw only 24 species, we did get good looks at Bufflehead, Wigeon, and Swamp Sparrows. I believe there is another trip this time next month.
