"One man's trash is another man's treasure" - I see a lot of Indigo Buntings, Dicksissels, RW Blackbirds, Common Yellowthroats, sparrows, etc. using those weeds and grasses as perches, hear them singing, probably nesting, probably eating seeds, etc. It is all part of the habitat.

I'm going to put my foot in my mouth... Others have said it, I'm posting it... It seems curious that the "grasses" on the road sides and the pool sides are allowed to grow to heights that make viewing good shorebird habitat all but impossible. Even large birds such as herons are obscured by the foliage. If one owns a Helicopter... Hmmm.... Anyway, why the tall grasses... I've looked these over and to me they seem "weedy"... Prove me wrong. -----Original Message----- From: MO Wild Bird Forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Edge Wade Sent: Sunday, August 03, 2003 5:17 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Eagle Bluffs CA Boone Co Low numbers, low water, high vegetation.
