As a result, many fine guns that had given decades of service over the water and grain fields were retired forever or returned to service only after the development of softer and more expensive nontoxic shot such as Bismuth and Tungsten-Polymer in the 1990s.

Luckily, a two-inch rainstorm helped alleviate the drought this season, and 70 percent of the refuge's wetlands were flooded by the time the migration peaked.
