Black Swamp Bird Observatory found a Northern Shrike in the nets yesterday 10/22. What a prize for one of the most beautiful days of the year.
BSBO and Long Point Bird Observatory across the pond, monitor changes in local bird populations. The pulse of the planet.
We have the opportunity to set up an observatory in Cleveland and we should do so--when the Dike 14 public meetings are held in December. Stay tuned to Jim McCarty's column in the Plain Dealer and make your opinions heard. My opinion--Dike 14 should be a protected environmental monitoring station and preserve with limited public access. We need to stay atuned to our planet for all of US animal species.

Today's the big day for Northwest Ohio.
Will our region capitalize by establishing Dike 14 as a NEO wildlife refuge??????
