I agree that perhaps the connection isn't completely clear in this post
from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, but there is
actually a strong connection to this bird list. Chickadee checkoff and
similar funding sources support the Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund, and much
of the work supported by the fund is directly related to birding, whether
it's about Bicknell's Thrush, Piping Plover, or other species of concern
to us. Besides also buying the birder bands available through the
department, there are few ways for birders to contribute directly to
non-game conservation.
I was rather pleased to see Lisa's post, though I agree that such postings
should remain rare so that we can go back to arguing about owls.
Cheers,
Bob Duchesne
