Thanks to the better-informed folks who sent me information on drones. I
had forgotten that the Federal government has rule over the sky. You may
not agree after a look at the photo my brother Pete sent me
(attached)...if you want decisive results, I say send a golden eagle!
        I hope that bird observers will continue to wonder about the parts
drones might play in field observations, for good or for ill.
Like other technologies, this one invites shallow results. Birders are
most likely to see drones in the field, and they must be those who
document and comment on the effects they have on wild birds. I'm not
thrilled to anticipate them.
