I just got a call from Mary Schiedt, who's away from her computer at the moment. The news: at long last all the repairs are done and the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area is OPEN!!!

I have no idea what the water levels are-- and too late for most of spring migration, but nevertheless everything should be checked. Also, don't forget to look for Grasshopper Sparrows down around Lot H; they've bred in that area before. I have a simple map at http://www.tertial.us/yolobirds/yolo.html.

good birding,
