Tw'ters,

My curiosity was aroused today as I read two separate postings on the
BCVanbirds listserve detailing a couple of run-ins that Canadian birders had in the
past week with a woman they are now referring to the "Redwing Police." This
individual is yelling at people, "You Canadians, go home! You are not welcome in
this country! Get the hell out of here!"
A warning has been posted on the subject line of the e-mail posting, and it
reads, "Canadian Birders Beware at Redwing Site."
The posting also tells other Canadian birders to park well away so she can't
see their license plates! Jeez!

Does anyone know what this is all about? Satisfy my aroused curiosity,
please. I'd like to write a story about this in my treatise about those of us who
watch birds and birders. But surely, it must be a joke....or is it?
