Jeff et al.,
There were/are some rice fields along Gap Rd. about two miles or so south of
Brownsville in Linn County.

That is encouraging.
Can someone let is know if there are still rice fields in the Willamette

But this is a link to an article I read in the good ol' hard copy of the NYT
Science section. It's some encouraging news about a project for shorebirds.
Have a look.
