  2. I'm with you! When some of the big box stores and strip malls were going up in our area, some people contacted the Audobon Society and local parks depts and saved the wetland areas. They were made "protected areas" It is so neat to see this wetland area with herons and songbirds right in the middle of a Meijer, Chipotle, Tire Discounters etc.
    Maybe you can contact them to get advice?

    Thru my job at a small wild bird store, I've contacted the Cornell Lab of Ornithology

    use this email address: cornellbirds@cornell.edu
    They have always gotten back to me quickly
