I agree with Kate 100%. In urban areas c*ts are the largest threat to song
birds. If the birders don't work at changing the laws and perception NOBODY
ELSE WILL! This is a discussion group. If people are rude and can't control
themselves in a discussion then remove THEM from the list. Don't limit what
may help somebody solve a serious birding issue.

OTOH it's your party and you'll do what you want to! Can't blame you being a
list-mother has to be a thankless pain in the a**. Thanks for the list. Hope
you will reconsider.
