Morning on the Marsh
Uploaded: December 26, 2008 08:13:46
From the archives: taken in the very early spring of last year near Lock and Dam 13 at Fulton, Illinois which is part of a large wilderness preserve along the Mississippi River.
Was there really something other than the snow and ice?? Hard to remember!
Hope you all had a great holiday! I also hope my internet is working better later in the day; I will catch up with everybody then.

Thanks for all your great comments! Just a little background...The official name of this wildlife preserve is the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge. It extends from Minnesota down through southwest Wisconsin and includes parts of eastern Iowa as well as northern Illinois as well as portions of Missouri. It was founded single-handedly by a Mr. Wil Dilg ... he was a sports writer! And an avid fisherman who wanted to ensure the continued existence of the Mississippi River's ecosystem (not a word he would have used back in 1920.) When he heard of plans to drain the wetlands, he petitioned Congress to declare the area a Refuge - and succeeded. "Thank you, Mr. Dilg!"
Good to know one person really CAN make a major difference in the world! #6943497
