At high tide the shorebirds have a protection wall where they can roost on green lawn and feel safe. Sadly we did see a lot of road kill and no doubt a result of people driving at night. For those of you who like statistics here’s a chart of the birds seen only in one location or in all three locations as of March 8th!

JANUARY 20, 2008

Ethical vegetarianism is the thesis that killing and eating animals is morally wrong whenever equally nutritious plant-based alternatives are available. Similarly, most people also agree that: (2) It is wrong to kill a conscious sentient animal for no good reason. Nor ought we kill them without reason.
