Wanted to share this note from a non-birder friend in NH, and suggest that we all think perhaps a little more than usual about what we wear in the field in the coming days:
---------------------------
There's a news story today about a bunch of birdwatchers traveling to Gorham NH to see cedar waxwings eating crabapples—apparently a big deal because it's most unusual. So this made the news because many of the birders were wearing camo duds & a local feared that they might be domestic terrorists which does seem a stretch but, nonetheless, do they really need to be dressed in camouflage? Guess a forestry employee, who's also a birder, asked the group to not dress in camo when they are in town. Guess we are all a bit on edge these days...
