I thought some people who post to this list might like to help get the word out
about the refuge.

Your Malheur memories, please!
We can't read a thing about the ongoing occupation and closure of Malheur
NWR, in Oregon, without thinking about the refuge's critical importance to
birds. According to the Audubon Society of Portland, Malheur may have the
highest all-time bird list of any location in the state -- more than 320
species. Huge numbers of migrating waterfowl and shorebirds gather on the
refuge every year, and so, too, do thousands of birders.
If you've been one of them, we want to hear from you! Please tell us why
Malheur is important to you. We may include your recollections in a story
we're preparing. Send email and photos, if you have them, to
mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx no later than Monday, January 25. Please
include your full name along with the name of the city and the name of
the state or province you live in.
