Re: [cobirds] Burrowing Owls and security guards, Adams county

I was curious about the extra vigilance you have described, so I researched the issue on line.

 It turns out that there was a recent Interpol bulletin about the threats and damage to reservoirs, especially

in parts of Great Britain and Germany. Terrorists have been posing as birders in order to avoid arousing suspicion 

from security guards. 

Dressed as birders, with binoculars, muddy boots and field guides, these miscreants have been found 

lurking close to large reservoirs. When no one seemed to be watching, one Isis commando was videotaped 

heaving a gunny sack full of zebra mussels over a fence, where it plopped into Fulz Reservoir, which is the

main water supply of Stuttgart, near the air force base.

When caught, he explained (translated from Farsi), "No way was I going to wear a suicide vest, so I opted for

the safer act of slowly destroying that reservoir with these noxious, invasive bivalves."

Be wary though out this day in early April, and the rest of month too.

There is an area where signs are posted No Stopping or Parking (something like that), but I've always pulled over every where else along that road. I wouldn't worry about it. She must be new. They know birders are always on that road.
