["Scott Michaud" <mazhude@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the posting on this.  I saw that article in the NY Times today. 
Here's the link:

Here's my question. What is the legal status of a nest like that? Can it be 
removed?  Here's a quote from the article:

"Ms. Winn said the federal Fish and Wildlife Service ruled in the 1990's 
that the nest was covered by a treaty adopted in 1918 to protect migratory 
bird habitats and could not be destroyed. But she said that more recent 
interpretations of the federal rules may allow people to interfere with 
migratory bird nests if they do so in the winter, when the nests are not 
used to raise offspring..."
