Marie & John, I agree whole heartedly, especially after all the broohaha over the guy who was just taking pictures from the back of his truck. Flushing birds so you can see them is akin to flushing birds so you can hunt them. You're not doing it for the birds sake.

Why no one else sees this as harassment I'm not sure. Maybe that’s why the owner of the field is so sure the bird wont de around mush longer.

Is that really good for the bird?
