[log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 23 Aug 2008 21:08:53 -0400458_US-ASCII This evening between 7:30 and sunset I stopped at Sandy Ridge. There was a male Northern Harrier swooping over the fields near the entrance and to the east of the park. Perhaps it will roost there tonight so it might be worth a look in the morning to see if it is still there.
When we arrived a young red tailed hawk was sitting on the light post next to the parking lot. This wooden post is no higher than 10 feet. [...]37_23Aug200821:08:[log in to unmask]
I would like to bring to everyone's attention the situation in Barbados, in
which an estimated 45,000 migratory shorebirds are slaughtered for fun every
year. Here is a link to an article on this atrocity. I don't know if this has
any effect on shorebirds that pass through our area, but I think all of us
should be outraged about this and endeavor to do something about it.

You can also Google Barbados and shorebird killing to find other information
on this.
I apologize to the list if this type of post is considered off-topic.
