For those that don't know, this is the second record for this spot, one was here in September 1996 also. I am trying to compile a list of all the birders who have traveled over here to see the Piratic Flycatcher. I want to use that list to make a case with local businesses, etc. of the value of birding to the local economy. If you saw the bird I would appreciate hearing from you and getting your contact information. Part of the reason for gathering this information is that the National Park Service is in the process of developing a Rattlesnake Springs Management Plan. Birders across the country know about Rattlesnake Springs and we need to convince the park that it needs to be maintained in its current state (or better) for wildlife. I want to develop a list of contacts who will be kept informed as to the issues and timing of the plan and how to comment on it when NPS asks for comment. The plan is being drafted and has not been released to the public but I want to be ready when it does come out. If you are interested, please send me your contact information (name, address and email address) to [email protected]. I promise protecting Rattlesnake Springs will be the only use of your contact information. And thank you personally for taking an interest in protecting Rattlesnake Springs! Thanks.
