Tweeters,

The Fill wasn't always The Fill. When I birded The Fill, there were still a few people who called it The Dump, which is what preceded The Fill. I found that confusing at the time, but through great personal effort was able to live with that older usage as a alternate name. Birding is loaded with traditions and mismatched names. It wouldn't be nearly as interesting without it.
