>From Richard Swanston Delta B. C. Canada ; The willet has spent about
two years at the base of the Ferry Terminal Causeway . It is not reported
on the bird alert that much anymore because it is so familiar . I believe
it is tied down with light nylon fishing leader
by the Delta Chamber of Commerce as a method of encouraging Eco Tourism
..
When all the habitat is gone you won't have all
those tree's and bushes to get in the way of good views of rarities . Like
house sparrows and maybe a starling .
