Beachwalker , I thought you were the one saying its a good thing to shut these place down?...limits beach pressure and all

Anyway we were close for the summer but low and behold the "skunks" got the 4 eggs (one mating pair) and we are now open to vehicle triffic till next june. (Guess that guy I paid off to snatch those eggs worked out...) (just kidding)

While I don't want the birds to become endangered, I think they should JUST PICK UP AND MOVE THE NESTS AND PARENTS TO NOMANS or some local island that has no people. They spend more time #^&#^&#^&#^&ing with these dumb birds the cost should be focused on transplanting them not babysitting them.We have a right to use the beach too. It is just not for the birds.

Further, I noticed that they blame most of the bird deaths on natural predators (gulls, skunks ect) and weather (storms) not SUV's .

1) The birds are dumb, they build their nest on the sand they belong to get eaten, its natures way or culling the stupid.

2) The nature-nuts never seem to do anything about the the big part of the probem (here at least)...skunks!! These were not native to MV, some evironmentalist thought it would be a good idea to introduce them to the island. He is dead now and we have a million skunks with no natural enemies destroying and stinking up the place. How about we pay someone to remove all the skunks and charge the cost to the estate of the evironmental-whako who introduced them in the first place !

I wonder if they will get upset if I introduce some mountain lions.
