Here’s the latest wren-truth.
Observers associated with McKenzie River Trust (MRT) will look for the bird
this morning. The CBC team will look for it tomorrow. If either of them finds
it in the same place, then McKenzie River Trust will allow escorted access on
several dates in December.
If the bird is not relocated, there is no group access, for the simple reason
that the site is over a mile long and half a mile wide and they don’t want
people stomping around out in the grass and marsh. The area is being carefully
managed for return to a natural salt marsh condition.
You’ll sign up for a specific date and time. All requests for access come to
me. Total power, that’s my thing. Requests can start now. When we have the
dates settled, I’ll give people the liability waiver and the map with
instructions.
Right now we think we can get people in on Tuesday 18 and Thursday 20, with two
weekend dates to follow. These dates are tentative, subject to the MRT work
schedule at the site.
Anyone who wants to be on the access list, go ahead and get in touch now.
There is limited parking so we have a limit on cars per time slot. Access does
not require mud boots.
***McKenzie River Trust is a great organization that has been preserving land
in Lane County and locally in adjacent counties for many years. Several local
birders have been on its board and active in the organization. Please support
them as you are able.***
