In an attempt to head off the listserve police in regards to my previous
posting, let me say the following. I am sure that it will be pointed out to
me that this posting was inappropriate because it did not contain
information specific to Maryland birds, birding or birders. However, I made
the posting because I believe that it is pertinent to Maryland birders in
regards to bringing awareness to an issue that I have not heard about
locally and affects all of us on a national level, and because the proper
way to address this issue, if you so choose, is to contact all of your
legislators in the Senate and House of Representatives from the state of
Maryland to take action on the issue. For this reason I argue that it is
directly related to Maryland birders. A discussion of this issue, however,
is not appropriate. Send any responses to me directly off-line please.
Back to the birds.
