As those familiar with the North Tract know, normal opening time is 08:00. According to Refuge Public Use Coordinator Rick Potvin, we should see more early openings in the spring. All visitors are reminded to check into the Vistor Contact Station, approximately 1 mile into the refuge from rt. 198. The check-in procedure is generally quick and painless. Call 410-674-3304 between 08:00 a.m. and 07:00 p.m. for further information Kurt Schwarz Patuxent Research Refuge Volunteer goawaybird@comcast.net ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
