[log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 16 Oct 2006 15:27:14 EDT629_US-ASCII Today I followed-up with the trash clean-up project from Saturday at Hoover
Reservoir. I went back into Areas M & N which weren't covered Saturday. I got
to combine birding with the clean-up. Shorebirds were somewhat slow this
afternoon. On the mudflats and sand spits between Area N and the boardwalk at
Area M there were 9 Greater Yellowlegs, 10 Dunlin, 3 Semipalmated Plovers and
many Killdeer but nothing else. There were several Common Terns skirting about,
23 Great Blue Herons clustered about, Double-crested Cormorants on a far
sand spit and an adult Bald Eagle perched off Wiese Road. [...]42_16Oct200615:27:[log in to unmask]

This was sent to me by a co-worker - it may not be bird related but I think
all nature lovers should be concerned.  I checked and did find the listing.
It's basically under taxidermy.  I think I found it by searching for "real
bat".  It does have a disclaimer that it was harvested legally under fish
and wildlife regulations.but..???  I just do not understand why anyone would
want this unless they are using it for educational purposes.  Most of you
know I have a bat farm.and I feel the laws protecting them is not
sufficient.  I have had a bat die on my property, and although it would be
nice to have a specimen to use when I give my lectures before my tours.I
still turned it over for educational purposes.   I just find this disturbing
- others my think it is no different that stuffing a duck, fish, or deer
head.  You decide.    If you wish sign this petition go to:
