Hello Tweeter,
After reading Richard Rowletts Adventures Trip to the Okanogan Highlands,I
will make it realy short,what I have to report. This morning when i
arieved at the Skagit WRA,i was ready to go in to the fields, there come a
Man driving a truck.I first thought it was a hunter.Wrong!!! He approched
me and ask:what i intend to do up here.I told him that i was going
Birding.So he ask me if i had a CONSERVATION LICENSE, my question was
wy?The man was not on ordinary man,he was the Game-warden.He told me on
sunday there where so manny birders and the Hunters complained, so he have
to enforce the Law which states in order to go on federal land you must
have this license.He was kind enough to let me birding today,but in the
future it will coast $94.00 FINE.I don't mind pay the $10.00 at all, and i
am glad to find out from this warden.because it cost the hunters almost
close to $100.00 a year to go hunting. Most of you Birders proable already
got this License.This Warden lives in the house on the REFUGE.
I had onother good look at the Green-Tailed Towhee, run in to Scott, he was
so exited seeing the Swamp Sparrow,it got late for me so i will try another
day with more time to get The photo
