Thanks to Lindsay Deering for passing this along, and my apologies for
saying that there had been no official word on the change.  I had missed the
Division of Wildlife press release from the 18th and I think perhaps most
birders had missed it.

Due to the chance of rain on Monday the road repairs have not been
