CoBirders,

The eBird Hotspot for Reuter-Hess Reservoir states that it is “restricted-access”. Is that still the case (I know it was during the reservoir’s construction)? Do the folks reporting birds from that site have special permission? Or is the eBird description out-of-date?

Thanks!

Hi Gary & Cobirds,

Rueter-Hess has portions open to the public now for hiking. There is, also, paddle boarding. Tim Ryan works with Parker Water, takes out scheduled birding trips & DFO is resuming trips there post-pandemic. Below is a link for more information.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Diane!

To those CoBirders that have “influence” with eBird — is this something that is/should be reflected there? I’m not making an issue — just raising a question.

Hi Gary/all -

I corresponded with Tim Ryan who kindly confirmed that access remains "restricted". The hotspot name will continue to indicate such until the access is no longer restricted.

Please utilize the website Diane provided for further information and guidance. If you have further questions, they should be directed to the phone number on the website.

Good birding,

Thank you Kathy!

I’ve heard from a lot of different folks, including Tim. I understand what’s going on, and I very much appreciate all of the comments.
