I think Sheridan said it best, "there is no right way or wrong way to enjoy birds. Acting in a superior manner is what is ridiculous. We all need to work together to protect birds. We all need to respect each other's enjoyment and passion." And, on a lighter side, someone once said, "the difference between a birdwatcher and a birder is that the birdwatcher still has control over his/her life." ;>) Ron Bruce Austin area Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
