Norm and others:
Please excuse the slightly off-topic response, but this posting deserves a comment as it has affected MD birding. I am glad to hear of Bush's recent concern about bird migration and National Wildlife Refuges but both the current Administration and the Democratically-controlled Congress have been parties to systematically rollback enviromental safeguards and dismantling government agencies involved with adminstering these regulations. Where is government money for these programs? Their efforts have had a serious detrimental effect on birds and birding here in Maryland. Remember this when you go to vote next year. My two cents.
Thanks,
Matt
