Re: mea culpa
Carolina Birders:
I'm a bit surprised that Buddy Garrett feels he has to apologize for
starting a discussion of CBCs and Audubon's mission on this listserv.
How can counting birds, science, and conservation not be fair game
for this group?
I was out of town and didn't read all the earlier postings, but I
sure didn't see anything that qualified as a "fracas" in the last
couple of posts. Ann Shahib's email (and mine following it) simply
presented some facts: CBCs are real science, and Audubon is doing
good work on behalf of conservation.
Am I missing something here?
