Folks, John Coe (current president of Virginia Audubon Council) and I have submitted a letter to the editor in response to Andy Thompson's column. We'll see if they decide to pick it up. This should in no way preempt anyone else from responding personally as they see fit. -- Lewis Barnett President, Richmond Audubon Society www.richmondaudubon.org<http://www.richmondaudubon.org> On Jan 25, 2011, at 1:04 PM, Diane Jadlowski wrote: You can email Andy Thompson outdoors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:outdoors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Thanks Diane Jadlowski On 1/22/2011 5:14 PM, Kathy Freise wrote: You can respond on line, and leave a comment on the web page.

I read it pretty carefully and didn't see anything about that in the article.

Respect for birds required, plus adequate financial support due to their ravenous appetite, and their preference for only the most expensive seeds.
