[EBB Sightings] Aquatic Park--Berkeley

When I visited the area near the Waterthrush in early January, there were 
several trucks and personnel from the City of Berkeley at the corner.  I 
asked a woman what was happening and she told me they would be closing the 
corner and removing the "illegal trails".  They are hoping to improve the 
habitat for birds, just not for the birders and other things which used to 
take place there.

While it will be better for the Northern Waterthrush, yes, it will be not as 
good for the Waterthrush watchers.
