It's true that this isn't the breeding area for the Kirtland..however, I
gotta stick to my guns as far as saying it would be preferable to not
interfere with this bird's communications. I do appreciate this list which
allows active birders like Dick Peake
to inform more sedentary types like me about interesting species.
I'm also happy to be able to express my father's opinion here. He was also a
respected birder. He could identify ~ 200 birds (that I know of) by their
songs and he learned this through field work - not with recordings - which
adds up to a lot of field work...So, I wanted to share his thoughts with you
on this subject-just something to think about...
Respectfully yours, Marion Finucane

Dick Peake is probably the only person in southwest Virginia to actually
identify a Kirtland's warbler in this region. Verifying that the bird is
there is very useful in helping to identify the migration route of this
extremely rare species and to perhaps identify and protect critical habitat
in the migration corridor. As this species nests only in a very specialized
jack-pine habitat in north-central Michigan we can be sure that the bird is
not being harassed on its breeding ground. Dick Peake is an extremely
responsible and knowledgeable birder. Give the man a break!!! He was kind
enough to tell the rest of us that the bird was out there! Some would argue
that he should not have done that. Hope all is well with you Dick. Thanks
for keeping us posted on this very rare sighting. Ed Morgan, Abingdon, VA
