Hi Everyone,
I don't mean to cause a huge ugly debate, but isn't the shoulder of the road public right of way? �If so, could one still "look at the fields" if they stay on public land?
Now I totally agree with respecting private property rights and not pissing off people. �That being said, I don't see the need to allow someone to restrict public access to a public right of way.
Am I wrong about this? �Does MD not have these public right aways? �Or is it not permitted to have people walk in these areas?
Thanks and again, I don't mean to cause any nasty debate - just honest questions from a DCer!

Hi everyone,
I apologize in advance, I was just told in no uncertain terms by the land owner that no one is welcome to look at the fields for this bird, it is private property but I was on the road the whole time and did not think it an issue, I tried to explain the magnitude of the record and he told me that no one was to look at his fields.
Sorry for this news,
Mikey
