"Birding," whatever that term means, has become increasingly popular, and participants increasingly represent a deeper cross-section of society, warts and all. So anytime a bird is reported on private property, be prepared for problems. There's an easy way to avoid these unfortunate incidents: stop publicizing birds on private property. - Shireen Baltimore, MD ========================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ========================================================================== ==========================================================================
