the rangers don't call them bitches - they use a much more vulgar term. And the rangers absolutely hate closing beach, they are mandated by law and orders from above (read: Superintendent Price - birds come 1st). There is some equality between the rangers and F & W, but Price always comes down on the side of the birds if the divisions can't work it out.
The Race map looks good right now, but there is a tern nest right at the north side access that is ready to hatch, so that will be closed down soon. The upside is that the pole road should be opening soon, as the nest that closed that is close to fledgling. The NW blow last week put a lot of sand back on the beach. South side was filthy with lettuce when opened, cleaned up within a couple of days. But there is a large stretch of beach where you are prohibited from stopping - it's the birds' beach.
