Jay, SEEM is the key word here. The majority of people on this list,
I am quite sure, think/feel/and observe in the same manner that you
do, but may not be as vocal about their feelings as you are. The
above may be taken as a criticism by many. Offered in the spirit of
keeping the peace...
Thanks for the tip on the article. I do not get the Advocate and
appreciate others letting me know when there is something worthwhile.
Re: articles, there is a nice article describing the refurbished
Couterie Woods in City Park in the Times Picayune this morning. I
know that many on this list were involved in this project and I
congratulate them. Hope to check it out very soon.

Hi Dave,
We have not responded yet so this is it. Wife, Jo, and I plan to plant
trees tomorrow on Grand Isle if it is still on. Don't know how much help I
will be as I strained my back a couple days ago.
Margie Daigle, Terr. Bird Club, is also comming.
Thanks,
Dave Coignet

Labirders,
The female Western Tanager, present since 12/31, was a complete no-show
yesterday for Walter Clifton's camera. She's here and in her routine today,
feeding regularly on sunflower seeds at the back platform feeder.
An immature male Summer Tanager is favoring the peanut butter suet.
Occasionally the two tanagers are on the platform feeder together, but not
for long, as the western prefers to have the whole feeder to herself.
Wednesday, a mixed flock of c grackles, rw blackbirds and bh cowbirds took
over. I counted over 20 cowbirds. This is a high count for my yard,
previous high was 3.
Goldfinch numbers continue to increase daily. Waxwings and Robins, early to
appear in such high numbers in our yard, have stripped just about all winter
fruits except nandina. They have even been down on the ground getting
berries from liriope and mature patches of monkey grass.

Dear Beth:
The UL Lafayette Bird List is now 90 or so birds. What's the status of
the Nicholls SU Bird List????
LABIRD is not supposed to be a "chat" room but it is supposed to share
pertinent bird information to participants. Bill Wood was very
thoughtful to provide Mary Jiminez's article from the Shreveport Times
a few weeks ago.
I wasn't so much "fussing" as hoping that people would follow up
Bill's "lead" on referencing pertinent, net accessible, media
information. Joe Mac's four articles - one from last winter/spring -
help immensely to show LDWF hooks and bullets bosses that there really
is a lot to non-consumptive outdoor activities. There is no need for
10 people to cite articles like Mary's and Joe's but here's hoping
that there are more articles out there that we don't know exist
because no one takes the time to post the information.
Regards with Thanks,
Jay
PS - Every Bird List has to start somewhere. Hope to see a Nicholls
list soon.

Registration is still open for the banquet. I've talked to the caterers in
Alex and they will be able to handle additional people up until Friday night.
Registration has been excellent and we look forward to seeing so many LOS
members and guests at
the meeting.
So don't miss the excellent programs for Friday and Saturday night. Our own
Clifton's will be showing some remarkable slides on Friday night. We are
most fortunate to have Dr. George Archibald for our Saturday night program.
