Hi all --
Thought I'd briefly pass along the news that Bluff Lake Nature Center (for which I have worked occasionally) is making a dedicated effort this week -- in honor of World Water Day -- to raise money for their lake capital campaign, which will greatly improve its habitat.
Bluff Lake's bird list stands at 171 species (with pine siskin, red-breasted nuthatch, and eared grebe as recent additions). This pocket of urban habitat provides a stopover for migrating birds as well as a natural oasis where schoolchildren can learn about the environment -- making a year-round lake will benefit the whole neighborhood.
Thanks!
