Hi!
        I am only a new member, however, I would like to comment on the
idea of the hawkwatch site.  A park for birders is a great idea.  But, if
people are walking their dogs (and they WON'T keep them on leashes) the
birds will soon disappear.  A good alternative is for strolls, human only,
and birding.  That way the paths won't get too abused by dogs.  Don't get
me wrong, I love dogs, but the parks I go in are hard for birds and birders
alike when the dogs are running, barking and fighting.  Take a look at
Robert E Less Park for example.  Also, ground nesting birds are not safe if
dogs are about off leash.

        I'd like to join you on your hawkwatch somtime.
