Since many Maryland birders visit the Delaware marshes, I am forwarding
(with Anthony Gonzon's permission) the attached DNREC survey. Anthony
tells me they are interested in all comments - even those from us Maryland
foreigners. :)

"Greetings all

Although I have no birds to report in this post, I wanted to take a moment
and ask you check out the Delaware Bayshore Initiative survey posted by
DNREC. It is a very short survey, but asks some very important questions.
As birders, many of us have visited places like Augustine, Woodland Beach,
Little Creek, Ted Harvey, Slaughter Beach, and Milford Neck. These are all
great places, but haven't you ever thought "I wish this place had." or "If
only there was a viewing platform here" or "If only I had better access
to."? DNREC is reaching out to all user groups in the bayshore area, and
our opinions as birders, photographers, wildlife watchers and nature
enthusiasts do matter! Here is a great opportunity to tell DNREC why the
Delaware Bayshore is important to you and to make suggestions about how to
improve what it offers. What we say can help guide planning and investment
into the Bayshore area for years to come.

If you could check it out, the link to the survey page is
http://www.dnrec.delaware.gov/Pages/Delaware-Bayshore.aspx. As long as I
have birded in Delaware, I don't recall birders being asked for their
opinions in this way or at this scale. This is a big opportunity for the
Delaware birding community and our comments and suggestions will help to
make the Delaware Bayshore even better as the world-class destination we
already know it is! The survey itself takes only a couple of minutes at
most.



Thanks and good birding (the Bayshore!),
