Good Morning Birders...
Dave Roemer from Kentucky has asked me to post the following important 
information:

> I assume everyone has heard about the  unanimous vote by the Ky Wildlife
> commissioners to approve the crane hunt, thank you for
> posting Linda.  
> 
> The process is not over with and the hunt plan will be
> filed with legislators on June 15.  It's important to voice
> your opposition now by writing to Governor Beshear and the
> Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet Secretary, Marcheta
> Sparrow.  
> 
> If you believe the cranes are more valuable as a
> wildlife-watching resource than as a game bird, tell them. 
> If you feel that the Kentucky Department of Fish and
> Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) should have followed the
> International Crane Foundation's recommendation of delaying
> the hunt for 2-3 years, tell them.  If you feel that
> Kentucky being the first to hunt the eastern population of
> Sandhill Cranes in nearly a century does not cast the
> Commonwealth in a favorable light, be sure and tell them. 
>   
> 
> If you threatened to withdraw your support from KDFWR if
> the hunt was approved, do it; I am, and tell the Governor
> and Secretary Sparrow that you are.  If you reside in
> another state and will boycott Kentucky by not spending
> money here, tell them.  They need to be aware of the
> magnitude of opposition.  Their contact information is
> copied below.
