What a wonderful development. Judy and I just were there on Saturday past, and hiked into the main area above the visitor center. It was an awesome experience in that we saw, in addition to the mounds which I had seen several times before, literally hundres of Baltimore Orioles and dozens and dozens of Red-Headed Woodpeckers, and at least one Cerulean Warbler (I think) and a Tanager (of some kind). We are not highly skilled birders, so not always able to skillfully ID species, but there just were lots and lots of birds there at that time, and of course, it is early Spring at the site, so trees were only just beginning to show leaf buds, which made the bird spotting much simpler.
