RE: Happy butterfly (or moth) day
Thanks for volunteering there for so long. That is interesting about mimicing the the flooding patterns of the Rio Grande River. Did it work? I would be like a kid in a candy store there with all of that wildlife.
It's not perfect as they have the refuge divided up into different fields that they flood/grow plants for the wildlife but it's about as good as they can do with civilization in the area. In the old days the river would just meander and flood the area-now it's well-controlled for better or for worse. Water is very precious in the dry southwest.
