That is all we're trying to do and have been told that the current effort can help us do that. If you know of another way, please tell us. I appreciate your calm and reasonable tone, many others have been much less so. You can only imagine the affect of 150,000 birds and their waste and stench at a hospital, where many who come are already sick...it is horrible. We have been hospitable to the birds at the request of a local birder and our repayment has bneen the return of larger and larger flocks each year.... > > -----Original Message----- > From: bwilbur [mailto:bwilbur@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tue 8/5/2003 5:37 PM > To: Croom, Sally > Cc: > Subject: Purple Martins > > > Whatever were the powers-that-be thinking of???? This is the most deplorable of times to attempt to oust the Martins!! Please add my plea to halt such tactics at this time and let the Martins depart soon on their own. If persons have become so offended by the birds presence then plan ahead, be prepared and prevent the massing next year before it becomes a problem. > > Barbara Wilbur > Clarksville, TN > > =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Topographical Maps located at http://topozone.com/find.asp * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Tennessee Ornithological Society web site at http://www.tnbirds.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net Owner: Wallace Coffey, Bristol, TN jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx (423) 764-3958 =========================================================
