I think it will be fun!<BR/><BR/>Mojoman: Um.. not sure about the surly bit, but I do have my moments!<BR/><BR/>I'd expect that niceness will go a long way... we'll see.<BR/><BR/>Susan: Aren't they the most adorable things?<BR/><BR/>I almost don't want to think of how blog-worthy a day spent at Gunnison might be.<BR/><BR/>;-)<BR/><BR/>Dave: Yeah, thanks. Should be an experience, anyway.<BR/><BR/>Rabbit's Guy: I'm glad for the chance to be able to volunteer this way... maybe a little time will go a long way, right?<BR/><BR/>Jayne: Patience? You think? I'll hope so.<BR/><BR/>Reluctant Chicken Farmer: Did you see that post of mine a while back about how me and my brothers have always been a little off? Here's proof!<BR/><BR/>"Sand and naked have no business together" .... (laugh) I wouldn't know, Kev.<BR/><BR/>I have a suggestion (see comment below) on an alternative to all those extra roosters you're feeding. You game? <BR/><BR/>Delia: No, me neither. The scope will be pointed in the opposite direction for sure.<BR/><BR/>Bobbie: Aren't they?<BR/><BR/>DivaKitty: ;-)<BR/><BR/>Julie: Hi! The NPS ranger who runs the program there sounds like you - she is just tireless! It has to be that way though; someone has to be willing to look after them.

Being a cop for people who didn't know or sometimes even care was what eventually wore me down--that and miles of sandwalking. I couldn't stop worrying about the terns and plovers with every high tide and every July 4 fireworks display. I hope you'll be able to help without being consumed by the work and worry as I was. I have found that tern and plover protection and wildlife rehab are two things that can swallow me up. Be careful of your energies, do what you can, and be vigilant for burnout, OK?<BR/>Nude beaches take on a whole new spin when you're trying to protect terns and plovers. Blecccch! I find them populated with people you would never want to see in that state.<BR/>I hope you have a good experience, that you will have to deal with only enlightened nature lovers, and that you'll take care of yourself, too.Julie Zickefoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654698829603424649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-35407947883866830892008-03-17T13:01:00.000-05:002008-03-17T13:01:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-9544419224717372472008-03-17T12:59:00.000-05:002008-03-17T12:59:00.000-05:00Ahahahahahahaha - we love that last photo!Ahahahahahahaha - we love that last photo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-68777282065980404812008-03-17T12:53:00.000-05:002008-03-17T12:53:00.000-05:00Those plover chicks are the sweetest things!Those plover chicks are the sweetest things!bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658103343742852411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-86471943349980520592008-03-17T11:46:00.000-05:002008-03-17T11:46:00.000-05:00You're so cool.

I doubt that any nude bather would have the b-lls to confront you about walking on the dunes. No pun intended. <BR/>Been out there once. Very disturbing. Had my suit on, BTW.

Kudos and three cheers!<BR/><BR/>We have seen the same plover situations on beaches in Michigan and also Oregon.<BR/><BR/>Here in NW Wash. we are trying hard to save farmland and improve the water quality in our rivers, lakes and streams, for us and for salmon. Not to mention Puget Sound and the Orca whales. Same story ... so much to do, so few to do it!<BR/><BR/>May more people look, find a spot and DIG IN!RGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017190779860810318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-70972645396163788412008-03-16T21:31:00.000-05:002008-03-16T21:31:00.000-05:00What Susan said.
