Thank you, Kathi Hutton! I was just sitting here seething after I read Bill
Whan's post!

Regardless of what any of us feels SHOULD be done with the property - it is
private property and the fact that they have allowed us access to this bird
should have the  birding community feeling very thankful. Showing our
gratitude by being argumentative and calling someone a "Nazi", and going as
far as advising birders to trespass is totally irresponsible and showing the
negative side of birding!

Get up there and see that bird quickly folks before they decide to kick us
all out and rightfully so!

I was able to observe our famous visitor, from outside the fence, for 30
minutes this evening. When I arrived at 5pm, it was perched on some rocks
along the east side of the pond at Rt 4 and Tawa Rd. and showing the dark
legs and feet that ruled out other small white heron species. After preening
a while, it began feeding with its trademark quick runs and abrupt turns. A
group of us watched from the fence line that parallels Rt 4, and which does
in fact have a "Keep Out" sign. I would submit that a high fence topped with
multiple strands of barbed wire is a de facto indicator of private property
and any reasonable person would think twice before entering, even if the
gate was unlocked. Furthermore, calling someone a Nazi when in all
likelihood he was merely doing his job does not represent the best behavior
of the birding community.
