After our time at Hayton Reserve we went to Wiley Slough which reopened after the restoration project on 10-11. I have included a link below which describes the restoration which raised the dike to control flooding. Anew boat launch and parking area was added. We wanted to see what the " new look" was. There were not many others walking the area and very few birds! We saw a Northern shrike, a kingfisher, towhees, 2 herons in the far distance, many blackbirds, a few ducks and harriers. We talked to an 81 year old man who had been coming to the area since he was 11 and he told us many interesting facts about the changes in 70 years.
