>From what I can gather, birding is OK as long as it's at home with no

driving involved,

"Inslee described the Army health care workers as heroes Saturday and urged
Washington residents to "be part of the 627" by staying home in accordance
with the emergency order he issued Monday. En route to the Seattle news
conference, "Frankly, there were way too many cars on I-5," he said.

"I want to ask Washingtonians to do something, which is to take a little
picture out of the newspaper of a nurse," the governor added. "Tape it on
your dashboard and before you start your car look at that nurse and say,
'Do I really want to put this person at risk?'" by leaving home."

Be safe and be well.
