Runoff to bring more birds and habitat for migratory refuge
Flood waters cause concern for many of us, but they’re doing good things for birds right now in Box Elder County. The Bear River Migratory Bird refuge is already seeing habitat come back in areas where drought dried it out. News Specialist Mike Anderson is live out there on what this means for the coming months. For the two-hundred some species that come through here, it’s mostly good news. Some of their nests can get washed out, but they’re resilient and can move on. For those managing this place it’s more complicated. It is peak birding season right now in Northern Utah, drawing all kinds of people to the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, like Dale Dean, from California.
