Fellow Birders,
It has come to my attention that there is going to be a bill brought before
the upcoming General Assembly that will allow hunting on Sundays in
Virginia.
This is of great concern to birdwatchers and hikers, etc. because Sundays
are the only days in which we can safely go into natural areas to birdwatch
or enjoy the outdoors without the fear of being shot accidentally by
hunters.
Please contact your Delegate or State Senator if you are against this
amendment.
Here is some info on the proposed bill..
Thanks,
Lynda Blair
