As of yesterday ,things have changed in regards to those that may have 
plans(driving a considerable distance) to go to the Sax-Zim Bog for either 
birding or photography....the "wild bird feeding stations" on the Arkola 
Road,Owl Avenue,South Admiral Road and the latest station on the McDavitt 
road(not entirely sure about this one) exist no more....The Minnesota DNR has 
given notice that they were to be removed....Apparently someone who lives in 
the area complained to the DNR that the stations(with deer carcass's) were 
attracting timber wolves(which they're not) and they didn't want wolves in the 
area.....so....the DNR responded with a plasticised "warning" on each station 
that they were to be removed....... The stations are gone.....just a heads up 
for the birders/photogs that travel any distance to view the birds at these 
stations....of course there is still the privately owned stations such as the 
Morse feeder in Meadowlands....the wild stations are the only ones 
affected....Thanks all....
