I guess there are always some who just won't learn. I had stated in my email about the bird that the owner of the land where the feeders are was "adamant" about not disturbing his birds., his because he's feeding them . Please read the Martin and the Preikseitis messages carefully before you try for the bird. My email on the subject was posted on the 28th evening. The feeder owner is not kidding neither is the owner of the field on which the birders were trespassing with permission. For ----'s sale don't't ruin it for those that may come after. I thought we at least were a little more careful with our manners. I hope OFO will get the names of those who chased the bird and post them for all to see and be warned. It's a great bird - don't spoil it!!! With disgust, Tom Hayman Happy New Year nevertheless Tom Hayman New Year's Resolution - THINK!
