All the media is saturated with sad news of terrible devastation and loss in populated areas caused by Hurricane Sandy. Natural areas were also affected by the storm. At Jamaica Bay Natural Wildlife Refuge the storm surge carved a large channel connecting the waters of Jamaica Bay directly to the south end of the West Pond. The deep cut wiped out a portion of the trail that goes around the West Pond. We will have a chance to see the re-arranged landscape on Sunday, Nov. 18th when we visit Jamaica Bay together with the Bronx River–Sound Shore Audubon Society. Join us if you can. Meet in the store at 8:00 a.m. or, if it is more convenient, meet us at Jamaica Bay at 9:00 a.m.
