Sincere thanks to Mike Hendrickson for posting the the info about the logging 
going on in Sax-Zim.  I subscribe to the list server but am from central Ohio.  
Last winter was my first time to Sax-Zim to see the owl irruption and it was 
amazing.  I am very sorry to hear about whats happening there and am equally 
disturbed to hear that there is likely nothing anyone can or will do about it 
(No,..I don't profess to have the answer either).  Having been there only once, 
so far, and granted it was for an event (the irruption of owls) that is 
cyclical in nature, it is hard to believe that the area is not already an IBA.  
I'm obviously not well informed on what "protection" is granted an area once it 
is declared an IBA as Mike alludes to that would not stop the logging or does 
he mean it just won't happen soon enough to halt this destruction?
      Thanks again to Mike for making "us" aware of this sad state of affairs 
and please keep us updated.
                                   Fellow birder,
                                            Kim L. Graham
