Gee Doug:
If you would link your e-mail address to your name and thus avoid the anonymity (sorry for the multi-syllabic word) that you seem to cherish, I'd write you off list. However, since you didn't or won't, I'll do it here. The answer to your question is VERY simple. . . . Why not leave Nature take it's course? Why do you (if you are in fact The Powers That Be) feel it is your job to regulate the water levels at Eagle Lakes at all? Even if it is your job, you're not very good at it IMHO. Hey, here's a thought, I'm unemployed. Since you have all of this power, maybe you can get me hired on with the county. That way we could work as a "team" to combat the evils of Collier County.
As for LaPassmore, you're a coward, plain and simple.
On a birding note, there are some passerines (few migrants) at Sugden Park for those who still like to bird and not play politics. . . .

: Vince,

: Perhaps you have not noticed the rain during the last couple months? I know inflammatory criticism instead of productive suggestions is your preferred media, still, I would love to hear your recommendations on how you would like the water levels managed.

: : Not much happening birdwize over here in Collier County. The water levels at Eagle Lakes Community Park are very high and there is no good shorebird habitat. Will the Powers That Be ever learn to correctly regulate the water levels here? One Yellow-headed Blackbird (much brighter yellow in color than in the past few months)is still hanging out on Greenway Rd. It can usually be seen late in the PM (6:30PM or so) sitting on the telephone lines near Ladybug Farms. Up to 5 Scissor-tailed Flycatchers are still in the Fritchey Rd.-Greenway Rd. area and the Broad-winged Hawk is still around as well. Further afield, there are still several Scissor-tailed Flycatchers out on C.R. 858 near the Hendry County Correctional Facility. . . .
