Greetings - this conversation is at a tipping point where it could --- if fed with emotion and tone- lead down a very very volcanic path, very quickly. Particularly as it was suggested to "ban" certain enthusiasts. Such things lead to very impassioned and dicey conversation-territory on listserves, particularly when involving an enormous number Ohio's very diverse birding community.
Both ODNR and the Biggest Week in American Birding festival organizers would be surely willing to receive input, comments, questions, concerns, suggestions and opinions-- perhaps best composed in emails or phone calls.
Best of birding--- another great night of migration and arrival of gems to find today

> Can we petition ODNR regarding the East Beach area; and I wholeheartedly agree with points made on banning playbacks, laser pointers, and controlling the photographers with oversized telephotos and tripods. What about banning the photographers at all times EXCEPT give them the entire boardwalk (ban the birders) from noon to 2 pm on Tues. Thurs. and Sat???

> A short time ago at 5:30PM, Sunday, the brilliantly plumaged male Surf Scoter reported yesterday, was at basically the same location, still in the company of some Lesser Scaup. Just offshore in Lake Erie on SR163, just west of downtown Port Clinton in Ottawa County. It is east of The Moose Club and opposite The Clinton Reef Club. The thought part of my post was what the main topic of conversation was today at the boardwalk. After all these years!!! What reasoning did The Ohio Division Of Wildlife have for making The East Beach traditional Kirtland's Warbler sighting area off limits. Great timing! During "The Biggest Week In American Birding", and at the peak arrival time of the Kirtland's. For myself and many others, The East Beach Area has been our place to get away, when things got crazy at the boardwalk. This should pretty much end Kirtland's Warbler and Black-throated Gray Warbler sightings at Magee Marsh. Remember, the beach by The Estuary Trail is part of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge
