Back from a few hours Sat evening and Sunday a.m.
Posters are up around town promoting a candidate to replace the county
commissioner (judge)as Steve Grassley is retiring. Poster says that her
position includes returning federally held lands and decisions to the
locals. Name .... Leathers King.
I told the motel manager that I was in Burns to go birding around town
and Malheur. She said she didn't like geese in her pasture because the
bacteria in their droppings caused health problems for her horses, so
she always sent her dog out to haze them away if geese came to her
property. Does anyone know of any truth to that comment about bacteria
from goose poo? I was starting to ask her to tell me more about it but
another customer came in and I lost the chance to explore it.
Totally dry along Ruh-Red, along 205 including the Narrows and along Sod
House Lane. Good that refuge staff are back to work and can manage water
for the birds. I kept my bins visible at all times, and waved at every
vehicle that passed. All but one waved back.
Perhaps some of the funds donated can help to grade the road from Sod
House to Field Station. It is horribly wash boarded. Judy Meredith,
