Refuge, the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge that is!
There are more than 200 species of birds that visit this 74,000 acres of land. Lucky them, don't you think? (Imagine if the government set aside that much land to house people who are under duress? To keep them safe and comfortable and happy?) I think we need a National Human Refuge! Hahaha!
Interesting to learn that these wetlands are drying up because of the surplus of vegetation called Phragmites. It is a common reed. When I hear the word reed, I think of the Nile River and wonder if the Ancient Egyptians had a Phragmite problem that drove their birds away?
Interesting, isn't it?
Like the Phragmites, is there too much of a good thing going on in your life that is sucking out the life of you?

That is interesting. Who'd of thunk it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it.
Instead of refuges, we have bird sanctuaries here. Ironically, many of them are found in the city.
