We're working on THAT as hard as we can. Gaining on D-Day, too.

My money is on the Birdwatcher with the wafflestomper. Walking and gawking and never looking down. Could just have well stepped into a bear trap.

Bob, If they are reading this, I hope they sit up and take note: MOVE the little birds to a safe location!

I am not sure if they have been told this before

Why is it all or nothing with the enviros. There must be a better solution. Last year at Duxbury beach. They kept the beach access limited until Sept. When asked about it a friend in HM's office said they wanted to keep the college kids working until they went back to school. Long beach was open as was others.

I agree that we fisherman are painted in a bad light when it comes to protecting birds. People need to realize that fishermen are on probably the first on the beach to spot a potential problem. Most fisherman are true stewards of the ocean. Like the rest of the population 10% give us a bad name.

Likwid, try giving some solutions instead of screaming "everyone into their corners" no more beach for you. I wish they would put this much effort and energy into feeding or employing the poor.

In mean time, I have put a call into Quincy MD, He is sending his boy, Sam to investigate.

Plovers are a PIA but they are cool birds that deserve some protection. Sure, i drop the "plovers, the other white meat" and other gems on occasions when talking to fishermen, and even people that are very much involved in birding. Its all in jest, like a lot of comments on this site. I cant see anyone on this site delibretly killing a plover. The problem with the plover issue and any other issue that brings passion is there is very little rational discussions/actions between the parties. Just like politics, which this is afterall, people go to the extremes.

You guys REALLY think the Bird conservation people actively read this forum ?

Definitely, after that we'll do a fuel rush for multifuel government vehicles by liposuctioning some of our more portly members to provide them with the energy to patrol more often a la Earthrace. That should last them well after oil runs out.
