The crew supported by several volunteers tackled the challenges and got all the nest boxes re-thatched at Ogden Bay this year.  This year marks five years of ongoing maintenance of these nest structures.

Cache Valley Chapter held their first banquet.

Coots conduct predation on duck nest and ducklings, so we have decided to bring an awareness to this in fun  event. We had 58 people sign up with 27 harvesting two or more coots making a total harvest of 84 coots.

We removed the old tower that was becoming unsafe and partnered with "Youth Build" to design and build this amazing tower/blind.  Now the local community can enjoy watching the wild life at Kingfisher with out disturbance. 

This year's fair was on June 23rd.  We had a nice size crowd show up.  Lots of fun stuff for the kids to do, touch and learn about.  We want to tank all our vendors and volunteers that made this year's fair a success.

Today we set the footings for the new tower and hauled out the old one.  Lots of youngsters showed up today to volunteer including a whole family.  Making the day feel more like a family project day.

We spent the day tearing down the old observation tower at Kingfisher. This is phase one of a project that will bring a better, larger and safer tower to the wetland.

Long two days, but we got alot accomplished. We cleared 1/2 ache of willow, mowed and racked close to an ache of phragmites and removed more overburden then I believed possible. Cleared an island for future nesting. Dressed up the new Flash board riser with the cement chucks found around the area.
In the end Kingfisher is coming along nicely. We are now seeing goslins and ducklings.
