Here, Here to both of you!!  A desire to bird or any other activity does
not trump the rights of a private property owner even when said owner is
an entity and not a person.  Which of us would want just anyone
traipsing around on our own properties without so much as a by your
leave?  Not me!  And yes, it has been fenced in, first with a ragged
construction fence, and keep out signs posted ever since construction began.

Respectfully,
Cindy Carsey
