As we reflect on the changes we want — or need — to make in the new year, how about adding an outdoors resolution to the list? The Arizona Game and Fish Department offers some simple resolutions, any one of which should be easy for an outdoors enthusiast to stick to:.
The objectives for the 1,acre wildlife area are to maintain habitat for waterfowl, doves, the endangered Yuma clapper rail and other wildlife, and to provide wildlife viewing and other compatible, wildlife-oriented recreational opportunities.
The wildlife area has two ponds totaling about 10 acres, an extensive stand of salt cedar, and about four miles of river channel, including running water, cattails and other emergent vegetation, sand and gravel bars, and riparian trees such as cottonwood, willow and salt cedar. The open-water ponds attract several species of waterfowl and shorebirds. Yuma clapper rails nest on site. The salt cedar bosque provides nesting habitat for red-winged blackbirds, doves and other riparian species.
The bosque also provides cover for various mammals, reptiles and amphibians. The area is used by quail, egrets, herons, geese, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, skunks and raccoons. The striped skunk is one of four species of skunks that call Arizona home.
