The License number sounds credible to me. The new Chesapeake Bay license
plates (blue with a great blue heron and blue crab on them) usually have a
five digit code followed by two small letters positioned vertically on the
right hand side of the plate and therefore hard to see from a distance.
Inexcusable behavior regardless of who they were or where they came from.
This sort of behavior is disrespectful to the birds as well as the
majority of the birder community.
