Whoa, lets keep cool... Joan is a very busy person, she is probably the sole DNR specialist watching and taking care of wildlife for the non-game area of the DNR for the TC area, and it's a big job. Knowing Joan, I think she is one of the more fairly-minded individuals (and well-read ones too) that I know. Is there a real need to bash someone on email lists?! That's one of the things I really don't like to read online... Birders need to stick together in support of reintroduction efforts, because aren't we going to benefit in the long run from them?!
Holly Peirson (living about 1/8 mile S of Carlos, know Joan personally and she didn't call me, have no hard feelings about it...) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Dennis/Barbara Martin Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 10:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mou] re: Whooping Crane The article includes some mis-information from Joan Galli. Bob Janssens book includes two sightings considerably later than 1917 sighting she attributes to Roberts book. There are even more recent sightings than mentioned in Bob Janssens 1987 edition book. We were lucky enough to be among several dozen birders who were able to see a Whooping Crane in October, 1990 at Burnham Creek WMA in Polk County. Details and pictures of that bird were published in The Loon, Volumn 62, Number 4. The Burnham Creek sightings was originally by DNR personnel. That bird was probably in Minnesota for 17 days over a couple of different locations. For the details see The Loon. Obviously Joan Galli does not pay enough attention to the MOU publications, even though she is a member.
