To address the "rules are rules" thought, I'd ask, was this a rule at BCLP prior to today, or did the park react to the influx of birders seeking the Brambling to create and post a single sign? If the latter, why? Is there a real problem resulting from the seed that seems to be getting eaten primarily by Tree Sparrows? Red Rocks doesn't seem to be suffering any adverse effects from all the seed we put out there....
If it's always been a rule, then we should all consider ourselves lucky to have had a heightened advantage with the Brambling due to the seed, and stop putting it out.
In either case, one might point out to the park management that the special nature of such a rarity not only might justify permitting the spreading of seed, but also that the special nature of such a rarity has probably increased park revenues by close to a grand in the last few days. Special circumstances + lots of cash might = special consideration.
And yes, as Ira said, you're required to sign your name here.
