Hi, all,
Just for clarification, in years past volunteers would bring their own rigs
down for the winter and actually camp there at the site, and maintain the
feeders. (Cheryl Longton, who along with her hubby and another couple who
camped and maintained the feeders last winter, told me they've NEVER had a
problem overnight...). This is the activity that the VLF has put a halt to
for liability reasons; the road down to the river and the trails on either
side have always been, and will remain accessible. The idea has been
presented to hire a local to come down and open the feeder area during the day
and stock the feeders, closing it up at night, but I don't know if that's
being seriously considered; it sounds like a good compromise to me!

I am getting pretty confused by these Salineno posts, which seem to
indicate that the location will be closed. In contrast, the newspaper
article referenced earlier on Texbirds, at the link below, says that the
site will be open during the day but that no one will live in the trailer.
If this is the case, it seems that it will have minimal impact on visiting
birders. So, when we go down to the RGV this winter, can we count on
getting great views of those Valley birds at the feeders during the day?
