Folks

I mentioned the no parking request at the crossbill site on Sligo Creek both 
times I went for the bird since a car was parked beside Sligo Creek on each 
trip.  Both time the person who parked there ignored my comments.  This 
could cause problems if birders ignore the police request.  Please don't 
spoil it for the those that do cooperate.
