When I bird during a hunting season, in a place where hunting could be taking place, I have no problem wearing the orange hat and/or vest. A small investment to make, much like buying and wearing a helmet on your motorcycle, bike or whatever. Yes, Seth, we and the birds are losing out because of bias and attitudes. But as birders - ambassadors for the birds, we should be actively pursuing meaningful relationships with the factions that do not see the beauty and benefit of the birds. City Planners that do not bird, make landscape plans and "develop" what they think are forgotten overgrown areas into people-friendly parks and other spaces. Somebody should have invited them to go on a field trip or two and help open their eyes a little. It's not too late to save some of what's left, but it's done on a personal basis - one on one, one or two at a time. Bob Santangelo Jefferson County
