Re: [Maine-birds] Re: Mount Desert Island Birds: Green- winged Teal, No BCNH images requested

This is an open letter to Downeast Nature Tours aka Michael Good

Enough of this bullying of those of us on MDI who happen to see an exciting bird that you did not. You challenged , off line,my report of a Golden Eagle because I could not produce a photo and now you have done it to someone else on line. If you cannot respect the abilities of others then maybe you should remove yourself from Maine birds  like you have been asked to do two times before. Maine-birds is meant for the enjoyment of all of us who like to watch birds it is not a place to bolster one's ego. 
Would you also please respect the guidelines and remove your company name as your tag line. You are the only guide in the state who is disrespectful of this policy.

Comments:     Checking the pond for BCNH reported yesterday. Many birds found but not that one.  If there are images of this "particularly good birds for MDI" that would be confirmation of this particular species that I would like to see.  Because it is this species an image would be helpful and the score of the mini-golf game.        Sunny blue sky and 39F.
