I rejoice in knowing we have another 2,700 acres of wetlands. And to think a Wilson's Phalarope was able to attend the dedication. What rapture for bird lovers.

Speaking of wildlife, did anyone calculate the number of mosquitoes this new swamp will support? How about our increased exposure to West Nile virus? Wait, what am I thinking. It's we humans who don't belong here. Silly me.
