Hi birders,
The lake itself is completely covered with tall vegetation with some reed beds around the edges, but these looked dried up also. There is some water in the marshy areas near the top of the road on the corner of the WMA, where we heard a Virginia Rail. The marshy area on the other side of the road looked much the same but the trail there has been turned into a gravel road. Access to this is almost impossible since the gate there was so tight it was v difficult to unfasten, even with both Amy & I trying. There is also a new gravel road alongside the length of the WMA, below the observation platform.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? I am just wondering if we will ever see a lake again.
John Shortis.
