I tuned into to this program when it was broadcast last year. It's a
compelling story, vital to the Red Knot, the Horseshoe Crab, and to Humans.
Please watch Channel 2 tonight and then act; let your Congressional
delegation know that this issue is important to you and that you want them
to make laws to protect habitat and preserve these species. With so many
demands for tax dollars for different "critical" causes, it's important
that we birders make our voices heard. We are one of the largest special
interest groups and do have considerable clout. Time is short. Please
speak out on this issue.
Kind regards,
Steve Slocum

On a related note, the Frans Lanting photo exhibit at the Bell Museum (UM
Mpls campus) has been extended to May 10. "Life: A Journey through Time.
"
FLanting was inspired to undertake this huge photo project by the 10M (?)
yr-old migration of horseshoe crabs on the Delaware coast.
