I totally agree with you Deb. It's not the time to take out our frustrations
on someone we know and respect. Relax a little.

Oh, come on. PLEASE don't let this scourge of hate and divisiveness infect
our birding community!
Bill Volkert is a dedicated expert birder/ naturalist who continues to
contribute remarkable information and observations to our community and,
specifically, this group. You may disagree with his expression, but please
understand that we are all coping with our strong feelings about our
nation's terrible and extraordinary events yesterday. Irony and satire are
mechanisms to deal with pain and frustration.
Please, open your minds and hearts.
Best to all- better times are on the way!!

I'd suggest the administrator of this group have you removed due to
your poor decision to publish/submit this email.

Now it looks like huge numbers of elderly birders in tilley hats and
