Do any birders think about the carbon footprint of driving 400 miles RT to (try and) see a single bird?
How many have made 3-4 trips to Rhode Island by car in last four months or so alone for a single bird — Terek Sandpiper, Little Stint, Red Necked Stint, (perhaps a Ruff or a curlew sandpiper too) and now Common Cuckoo while bemoaning the environmental policies of the current administration? Believe me I’d like to see all six of those birds; none of which I’ve seen. I don’t mean to pontificate but is it not something to be considered? L.
