As many birders may recall, one of the naturalists (owners?) wrote a lengthy, offensive, and lie-ridden internet post regarding the Massachusetts birding community, specifically regarding the Ivory Gull pictured above. I do not recall an apology from him. I had a personal encounter with this person that was really mind-blowing and disturbing. I will never give any business to that company, and I have since informed several dozen birders of this guy's conduct. I am disappointed to see that his company will again be seeing business and advertising during this event.Nick Bonomohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036401219361026741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966329187699506484.post-80703516790124004102010-01-30T07:05:14.453-05:002010-01-30T07:05:14.453-05:00Not sure who you're talking about... and it so...Not sure who you're talking about... and it sounds like I'm better off!!<br /><br /><br />These Ivorys (Ivories??) just prove my own personal rules valuable when it comes to Arctic species. The most likely reason that they are down this far is because they are starving for food. Then dozens, and maybe hundreds of birders flock to the bird.<br /><br />I have to think that a Snowy Owl or Ivory Gull or even Gyrfalcon doesn't have a bunch of hobbiests flashing them and following them everywhere.<br /><br />I get torn between wanting to see an amazing bird, and wanting to just leave it alone.<br /><br />You said it best... something isnt going well for the Ivory in the Arctic. I'd rather get my lifer up there!!!Brian Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032812018373218322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966329187699506484.post-53419565674111621042010-01-29T08:48:23.665-05:002010-01-29T08:48:23.665-05:00Will you be coming up to Gloucester for Cape Ann w...Will you be coming up to Gloucester for Cape Ann winter Birding weekend?<br /><br />http://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/2010/01/29/steve-borichevsky-gives-some-insider-tips-on-how-to-enjoy-cape-ann-winter-birding-weekend/<br /> <br />http://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/cape-ann-winter-birding-weekend-info-with-judy-caulkette/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
