Re: [cobirds] No bird seed allowed at BCLP? No fair! How dare they!

As a veteran of non-violent civil disobedience with a short record of arrests for peace and justice efforts to prove it, I encourage folks to be respectful and also follow their nose for common sense (and unusual birds). Free the birdseed!!!!!   Long live the brambling, and anyone else who wants to eat illegal seeds!!!! -Elena Klaver

Alternatively, it would be a big win for the birding community if we could get the park to reverse the new 'no seed' policy.  Do we even know why they put the sign up?? If it's a matter of observers breaking park rules, we can help make sure those rules get enforced (yes, even for nuns).  If it's a matter of not feeding wildlife, we have plenty of other parks and refuges that put out seed for birds.

Have any of the local/regional birding organizations tried to work with the park to set some mutually acceptable ground rules that would allow birders to put down seed?? 

The masses are getting restless ;-)

Good birding,

Dismayed at the officiousness of the Bear Creek Lake Park rangers, I worked up my indignation and managed to find a "work-around."

After many phone-calls and emails, I established contact with the three nuns (Sister Anne Marie, Sister Elizabeth and Sister Bernadette) who visited the Park the other day. They agreed 

to take a big bag of birdseed to the Brambling hangout tomorrow. Too busy today. Others will have to sneak some (seed, not nuns) into the park

on other days. 

If you missed rebelling in the sixties and did not burn your draft card, here is your chance to step

forward into the exciting world of civil disobedience!

Three of us are signed up so far to either go your bail or visit you in jail.
