I'm unclear here. Is Jim equating putting out seed for the birds at Bear Creek with killing a small dog of a property owner? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm not aware that putting out seed for birds is a violation of the ABA code of ethics. Harassing birds is clearly against the code of

The ABA code of ethics is pretty clear (see Sec 2(b)) about violating rules and regulations, which in this case seem to prohibit the feeding of animals in the park. Maybe the park rule in question is dumb (and I'm inclined to agree), but it's a rule all the same, and until it is changed I am a bit

Not specifically. But I guess what you're saying is, because it's ok to feed birds according to the ABA, it's ok to ignore the park rules. Or by extension property owner rules. It may be a silly rule, but it's one that is levied by the park, for reasons unknown to you. So you can either

Hello birders, I am no longer in Colorado, but haven't unsubscribed from the list yet. I have been following this thread with interest, and I have to say I am in absolute 100% agreement with those who say that breaking a rule that you feel is stupid, just to have better chances to see a bird, is

I needed to get my two- cents worth in on this thread. One would think the Bear Creek Lake Park management would recognize and appreciate the obvious economic windfall we birders have brought to the Park in order to see the brambling. Has anyone approached management to learn their reasons for

By the way, it is equally ludicrous (and lazy, frankly) to smear all listers as continually seeking to violate good birding ethics. There are plenty of us who list and who also do right by the code. -- Eric DeFonso Boulder, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the
