[EBB Sightings] Mines Road nutcase

I've been birding that spot for about 20 years now and have never had a run 
in with that guy.  But I was told way back then not to look into that yard 
because the guy had complained.  It's appalling that after all these years, 
some of you birders didn't get the word or are rude enough not to care.  It 
is rude to be peeking into people's yards.  And there is no reason to be 
doing it.  Any bird that you could find in his yard can be found at many 
other places along Mines Road.  Keep your binos aimed at the willows, don't 
go as far as the white bridge and NEVER cross the bridge.  It was wrong for 
the guy to shoot his gun.  But getting the police involved will only lead to 
No Parking signs being placed along all or part of Mines Road.  And us 
birders will be the losers!
