Re: [cobirds] Referring to teachable moments

This thread and the one that spawned it are within the purview of CoBirds - pertaining to Colorado Birds and birding, but folks, please refrain from any rudeness  explicit or implied - in public posts to the CoBirds list, so the discussion may continue in a measured manner, if there is such a desire. If you have something substantive to say on the topic, that is fine.

There are teachable moments and clearly there are also unteachable people.

Here are my thoughts on your teachable moments and ethnic rules. We all need to remember one thing what people do is their own business we have no right to tell them how they enjoy their outdoor time or what they're doing. the rules you keep bringing up are not any kind of law of any kind they are just simple rules. Always love how everybody goes after people with cameras ,that we're doing so much great harm to the birds, but I never hear anybody saying anything about banding  birds, how is that not the most terrible thing happening to birds. How would you like it somebody showed up your house throw a netyou over then you manhandled  you in a bag, drag you around for a little while, go hang a hook for a little while. then we're going  to take you out of the bag ,we're going to fill you up a little bit .I going to see if you female or male then see how much fat you have .and then maybe we'll take a couple feathers maybe some blood, but that's okay that doesn't bother the birds at all I call b*******.                                          Loch Kilpatrick
