Thanks!

It’s visible from Stagecoach, not at all from Dry Lake.

Re: Dry Lakes area
It’s been that way since July 2019 when the trespassing laws changed.

Re: Dry Lakes area
Hi Denise,
So they’re no longer allowing birders to drive in? Do you know why that changed?
I haven’t gone because I wasn’t sure of the status.
Thanks,

Dry Lakes area
I just want to remind folks that there are no trespassing signs posted at Dry Lakes for both the irrigation pond and large flat area to the east of the pond. It is almost impossible to see the irrigation pond from the public road due to the corn field that is between the road and pond. But the large area has the amount of water right now and shorebirds are present. That whole area can be viewed from the public road though a scope is necessary to get a good look at the birds farthest from the road.
Please stay on the public roads only when birding the area. The no trespassing signs are quite visible

Re: Hall ofmirrors
My thoughts are similar, too, Bill. If this is a yearly event, would the tanagers be protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which is either being gutted now or soon to be? Or how about grant money for some wannabe young rockstar UofI environmental architect/engineer to design a rehab?
I’ve seen photos of UV glass coatings that are not visible from the inside, but act as a deterrent on the outside, applied to new installs. Why not as a retrofit?

Re: Hall ofmirrors
Under this Administration’s interpretation of incidental take under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, there is nothing to prosecute since there is no such thing as incidental take, only deliberate take.

Re: Hall ofmirrors
Any chance of trying to get a Probono environmental lawyer firm to go after them for illegal take under Migratory Bird Treaty? Anyone know of something like that that has worked elsewhere? Expect Fish and Game would be under the desk on this one.

Re: Hall ofmirrors
My friend who rehabs wildlife says it’s been going on for a long time. As I indicated previously, it didn’t really hit me until I saw the dead WETA’s in the Outdoor Idaho episode. Having someone tell you about something doesn’t provoke the same reaction as seeing it yourself.
