Re: [nysbirds-l] Re: [cayugabirds-l] Fwd: [nysbirds-l] Snowy Owls being shot at JFK

2013-12-09 Thread Jennifer Clark 
I just called and the woman who took my comment said that if the 
governor would take a stand on the issue, it would be reported on the 
front page of his website:http://www.governor.ny.gov/
I also see his Twitter feed appears there. Perhaps it's worthwhile to 
also tweet him our concerns (and with higher public visibility): @NYGovCuomo

 i called the number and if you wait for option 3 (speak to an
 assistant) you can leave a polite message with a real live person, as
 i did.  whether of course that has any impact is to be seen.

   Speaking of bird control, it is going to the dogs. grin
  (And this is probably the wrong forum to talk about goose for the
  holiday.)
  www.birdstrikecontrol.com/bcs.html - Border Collies are now the
  fastest-growing
