Elma – South American Fauna I bumped one of our regular submitters that I had scheduled for Tuesday (sorry Steve!) so we could have recent pics on the active volcano. They were submitted just a day or two ago, but it’s very timely, hence being moved to the front of the line.
Also, is anyone else planning to send in Paris pics?

I have several more sets of pics from Brazil, and I am slowly working to get those selected and organized for future On The Road submissions. But right now winter has just moved out and made room for spring, birds are moving, flowers are popping, and it just seems like time for the 2021 version of Spring in Flyover Country. Brazil can wait!
Last chance for Kansas bird watchers? These species will soon be leaving the state Sarah Spicer, The Wichita Eagle
Mar. 1 As Kansas warms from the bitter Arctic blast a few weeks ago, these next few weeks are residents last chance to try and spot these unique birds before they fly back north in search of nesting ground and new birds move to take their place.
Each year, Quivira National Wildlife Refuge in south-central Kansas attracts thousands of birds to its unique salt marshes and prairie land.
With 45 miles of public roads in and around the refuge, including a 15-mile-long Auto Tour Route with several places to stop and walk around, finding and spotting these birds should make for a challenging and educational pastime. The tour starts at the Quivira Visitor Center, at 1434 NE 80th St. in Stafford, Kansas.

“We have an inherent interest in the outcome of the case, so the board has asked legal counsel to take steps to intervene in the lawsuit,” GMD5 District Manager Orrin Feril said.
Participants in the meeting also included Stacy Armitage of Denver, assistant regional director of U. S. Fish and Wildlife service for the Department of the Interior, and Quivira National Wildlife Refuge Manager Mike Oldham, who referenced water conservation efforts his staff is taking, including removal of woody species and of cattails and sediment along canals.
