good news, bad news, other newsAugust 19, 2006
good newsI meant to post this before because it's such good news: For the first time in the history of the Cape May NWR a piping plover pair successfully fledged a chick.
bad news?
I haven't seen anything about this in the news media (tv, newspapers, online news aggregators) but apparently the US Fish and Wildlife Service is planning/implementing downsizing throughout the Northeast Region (region 5) of the National Wildlife Refuge system. This memo has been making the rounds of massbird. I couldn't find it on the FWS web site.
other news
