Isn't it sadly amusing that when the tourism propaganda touts things like "Come visit our scenic National Seashore" they fail to mention HOW the hell they are supposed to get there if all the access is closed due to birds that are doomed to extinction (if their breeding habits are any indication).
It's like advertising a brand new restaurant but using bad directions that don't go anywhere near the place!
Maybe bring down a bus load of feral cats and set them free to live unfetted by human control....OOPS, did they just eat a plover????
Sorry!
Once again the powers that be have followed that same old sad example of "better PC safe than sorry". They would no sooner close every beach along the eastern seashore than allow one stupid freaking plover nest be disturbed by the breeze caused by a passing vehicle!
"Occupy CCNS" has a nice ring to it, but unfortunately all it would take would be one person to say "Their blitzing" and they would all be gone!
One last thing.... Remember that they are closing the roads...why?
Because some bird is too stupid to nest in the undisturbed fields and dunes where they are SUPPOSED to. If a bird or ANY OTHER ANIMAL is stupid enough to dart out in front of or nest in front of a moving vehicle, that animal has proofed that it doesn't know how to survive in the wild. We only have ONR route, and a bird has the power to close it down. AMAZINGLY idiotic!
OK, I'm done ranting, it's back to work......
