Mr. Sandman,
Wish I was at that party..

If there were more humans on the beach the birds would not suffer from being eaten other animals. People like her have there ideas and they are the only one that others should follow. Once they close a beach there is no foot traffic aloud either. I bet you don't see her out there during beach clean ups and planting beach grass for dune restoration.

I am going to go through my papers... it will take me a bit to find, but the CCNS has published a paper that claims that ORV's used properly have no impact on Plovers. Also, last year at Sandy Neck, the rangers opened a closed area to the self-contained.. because the fact that with the campers there, the nests were not disturbed by the predators...... biggest danger to plovers.. Racoons, Skunks, Foxes, Coyotes, and developers. How many miles of coastline to Rhody and CT. have??? and how many pairs of nesting plovers do they average per year? Last year we had 19 pair in the ORV corridor at Nauset (just at one MA 4X4 beach!)... more than twice what the whole friggin coastline of CT and RI combined... she sounds typical of the anti-movement, open mouth, empty head.
When I find that document, I will post the document #, you should be able to contact them and order a copy... might take me a bit.

You should bring her some roasted cornished hens next time you plan to see her....lol

Poke that lady in her eye with your fork next time. My hatred for that bird is only rivaled by Rick Pitino. Coyotes and foxes are all over the beach, but its the 4wd's fault.

I totally agree that half these retards have never done one good thing other than "donating money" so they can get that cute sticker for their car but I'll tell you what, foxes and coyotes on the cape don't have one bit of fear of humans anymore. They'll happily walk right up to that bucket of bait and steal out of it at 3 in the morning.

While it is kinda cute to see a 3lb Red Fox dragging a big ole herring down the beach, its certainly not safe considering they caught 2 in Norton last week that had rabies.

The dog dosen't go out after dark anymore after hearing about that one.

Bring some cats to the beach.

Reward 'em for every plover they kill - with a nice fresh salmon dinner.

jim, next time you go to a dinner party will you ask the host if the woman will be there?

In 1996 the feds had most of the Front closed for the Plovers. So we could get to the SEcond Rip but the Race was closed and all but about 100 yards of the Back was closed.
There was A Golden eagle in residence on the Front and he would sit on a Plove sign and one by one he picked off every little Plover that wandered out of the fenced area. Then the Foxes and Cyotes made short work of the remainder. Yeah, like we were running over the baby Plovers!!!

Friggin' tree hugging woosies. I had a "Piping Plover tastes like Chicken" sticker on my buggy on the cooler and a lady ranger actually gave me a lecture about saving the little birdies.

Now you guys know why a have a 50 cal. mounted on the back of my Hummer Canal Bike! Oh the humanity!
