Margaret-- Hey, but did you have a great trip?! Are you going to put
on a RAS program showing all the great birds you saw?
Forget about the dogs...spring is here and we're getting great birds
though our backyards and parks. All the dog-averse birders need to
chill out a bit. We need to co-exist with dog owners who enjoy the
companionship of their pets, and hunters who kill various duck species
but pay for wetland preservation. Who are we, as birders, to think that
we have exclusive ownership of local parks?! Our local parks are also
used by walkers, hikers, dog-walkers, birders, soccer-players,
basketball-players, picnickers, and other nature-lovers who want a
respite from urban grind. Cheers.
Glad to see that you're back safe and sound...did you get great birds?
I'll bet.

I just returned from New Zealand, and this is a problem there, too. I
was at
a remote wildlife reserve, and there were signs everywhere that no dogs
were
allowed. Despite this, there was a couple that brought a large dog, and
let
him off the leash on the beach with the penguins. There was a huge sea
lion on
the beach who would have has this dog for lunch if it had gotten close
enough!
