Re: [cayugabirds-l] purpose of the list serve.
Interestingly, nowhere in the information and rules does it explicitly allow discussion of the information and rules. I propose that this branch of this thread be disbanded immediately. :-) On Jan 7, 2013, at 12:46 PM, Linda Orkin wingmagi...@gmail.commailto:wingmagi...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, and I agree with Meena and Sandy, I find myself wonderfully informed by posts on these topics, I am only suggesting that discussion should lead to something.

The primary purpose of the List is to disseminate information about wild bird sightings in and around the Finger Lakes Region in a timely manner and to provide an effective electronic forum for Upstate New York area birders. Questions and limited discussion on topics such as bird behavior, identification, conservation, and distribution, especially as these subjects relate to wild birds in the Finger Lakes Region and the Cayuga Lake Basin, are welcomed and encouraged. The List is not for the discussion of pet birds.

Personally, I find the debates and discussions about birds and bird conservation among the most interesting postings on this listserv--and in the long run, these issues are very important to our continued ability to enjoy watching birds in this area (or anywhere), so they are quite relevant to the listserv topic.

I do not consider myself to be that knowledgeable person but I see from what has already been offered here that there are many of you out there. The listserv will probably not be the best arena for this, as is already apparent. Passions can run high on a subject like this. As passions can escalate quickly on almost any conservation issue, land use issue, pet freedom issue etc. Can some of us take steps to begin a face to face conversation and see where this might take us? I am not sure if the Conservation Action Committee of the Cayuga Bird Club would be a willing facilitator but I think that might offer at least a venue. Perhaps interested people can communicate privately about next steps? Thanks.

Why is it wrong if birders feel that they love to have some locations free of hunters and hunting? Don?t we think we also have same right as hunters who think they would love to hunt in all areas? So come to a compromise! So what is wrong in making some good locations on Cayuga Lake bird and birder friendly? Hunters can share some locations with us for our pleasure! I think number of birders and hunters around Cayuga lake must be very similar if not higher for birders. I think sport hunting is the one which bothers me, if you are hunting for food then it is ok with me, but just for the pleasure of killing something that definitely annoys me. If you are thinking of sports of hunting flying objects, have some artificial targets or may be try some falling leaves or some other similar targets. Sorry for bursting out like this, instead of working on the proposal!
