And they don’t know where/when it will be attached to the island again. But
a parks employee told me they are accepting bids to fix the path where it
goes under Veterans Parkway. Slowly we are returning to normal.

On another note, I again saw a Caspian Tern at the back pond at Esther
Simplot Park. This time he appeared to make a single pass before continuing
down river.

For those of us who bike/bird the greenbelt —

Missy says water has been removed from the Glenwood underpass, so we no
longer need to cross the street when going eastward from our hood to the
fairgrounds and beyond. More progress! =)

But.. the foot bridge to Plantation Island has not yet been replaced

The birdiest parts of our eBird patch (the greenbelt west of our hood) are
still inaccessible. As of this morning we could only go about 0.7 miles
west of SW 6.4. The sandbags, bladders, and some of the other temporary
dike materials have been removed, and they are out there with equipment
clearing gravel off the path at the “new” Garden City west foot bridge,
which is still closed as well. Progress! =)
