Again, I'll just say that I didn't intend to sound like I was saying that this topic was a not "a good thing" or whatever. I was merely trying to stimulate some involvement on the new forum. Again I am sorry to come off the way I did, my tone was not like that in actuality, the way I wrote things made it sound wrong So I apologise if I offended anyone. It is not my place to make the call on here as to what is appropriate and what isn't, I wasn't trying to do that, really, I was just thinking of the new forum etc. I hope everyone keeps on posting about cool conservation and responsible earth living practices on here or wherever. I too appreciated learning about this issue some more. And another thing, I left out some 'important' birds from my earlier post. Mourning Dove - 150 - there were a ton of these lovelies out back today! Eastern Blue Bird - 10 in my front yard American Robin - 20 also seen were Euro. Starlings by the dozens and House Sparrows. cheery cheers, - Ben Warner Sunbury OH ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
