After reading Patrick's account, perhaps I need to reconsider!

Subject: Re: [cobirds] Trespassing at Box Elder Creek
I was just out there- patrol asked if I were birding. I said yes and waved the binos. He said "Great! Have fun!" I think some of those folks have a "because I can complex". I had one try to chase me off the (public) right-of-way over at the burrowing owl area. I politely declined and she took off, muttering about calling the police. Give some folks a badge, no matter how insubstantial, and they tend to get above their raisin', as they say in country music.
There is no signage in that area, and I have to doubt if there is serious concern about it. If I prove to be wrong, I'll hit you up for bail.....
