Newsletters

I have been using Constant Contact to send out our recent e-mail newsletters.

 

One advantage of using this service is that I get a report on how many intended recipients actually open the newsletter.  So far only about 30% have.  It may be that your spam blockers are keeping you from seeing them.  If you did not receive the newsletter dated 1-29-11,  please check your filters to see if it is there.  

Also, if you have any reports of photos of refuge-related activities that you have done and would like to see them in the next newsletter, please forward them to me for consideration.

Beautiful day on the refuge

Spent most of Saturday January 29th at Savannah NWR helping run a water line over to the new bird feeding station just off the Beech Hill Interpretive Trail.  This was an Eagle Scout project for Peter Range's son, and a number of Boy Scouts turned out to help.  Friends members Tammy Porter and Jaynne Reichart also lent a hand, and we were joined by our RV campers Steve and Sara Miller, and Ron and Linda Fleeger.

It was a beautiful day, reminded me of why I left Detroit, and the birds seemed to very much enjoy their new dining and bathing resource.  Check it out next time you visit the refuge.
