I spent about an hour at Frohring Meadows this morning. The wet meadow, quite dry now, has completely grown in with cattails and wildflowers, and the mud flats that used to attract migrating shorebirds are completely vegetated. Unless the park decides to alter the management program to reduce the vegetation, those of us who were able to enjoy the shore birds right in our neighborhood will have to start trekking back to the lakeshore. It was fun for the first couple of years, as the park took shape. Lots of bobolinks.
