Riverland Conservancy is on Marsh Rd going from CTH DL into Merimac, not 
Marshland Rd as I wrote in my e-mail.  Several people have asked me where 
Marshland Rd is - I apologize for the error -  its Marsh Rd.

I find it interesting that last  year I heard my first  Yellow-billed Cuckoo at 
the Spring Green Perserve on May 9 - this is a dry prairie habitat with some 
scattered woods around the periphery.  This is the same type of habitat at the 
Riverland Conservancy - mostly dry prairie with woods nearby where the Cuckoos 
were calling.
