At a recent community forum to discuss plans for the Obama Presidential Center, Karin Droegemueller stepped up to the microphone and introduced herself as an "angry birder."
She is among a flock of birders who fear that the proposed $30 million Tiger Woods golf course and expanded driving range tied to the development of the Obama Center will ward off the millions of migratory birds that stop in Jackson Park, and displace the nearly 300 species that have helped make the park a favorite Chicago birding destination...
But not all open land is equal, they say. A manicured golf course or an outdoor amphitheater is not the same as natural habitat.
Protecting those winged travelers has even become part of the city's dogma. In March 2000, then-Mayor Richard M. Daley and the head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service signed an "Urban Conservation Treaty" in which they agreed to maintain and improve bird habitats.

Yes, soon to be Jessie Jackson Park?
Now all you need is a nice pair of binoculars...

Seems birds are racists too... otherwise they would find another place to crap...
Now all you need is a nice pair of binoculars...
And a good book.
On another note, how can I keep the pigeons off my balcony?
They seem fearless and will huddle and crap all over the place.
Maybe get a cat...?
Not necessarily, especially when they are different habitats. Many species are very “picky” about where they forage/breed/migrate.
I am a birder but have to chuckle at this. Many birders lamented the end of Obama’s presidency. One big name called him the greatest President of their lifetime. I’m sure this will do nothing to change his tune.
She is among a flock of birders....Wow, what a clever writer! I'm so impressed. They must teach that sort of writing in journalism school. /s
I was thinking that maybe I should embrace these flying rats.
You know, for when the SHTF.
But how in the world can you get a frickin wild bird to carry a message to the destination that you want?
I’m really at a loss with this.
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Think Game of Thrones.

Messenger Ravens.

Well, your’e no help.
Look mummy, there’s an aeroplane up in the sky”
Midnight basketball worked for a while. It's just really hard finding very small Nikes for the players.
You’re brilliant.
Well played.
How do we get the willfully ignorant, the violent and passionate useful idiots to even want to seek the truth.?
Can we even change their worldview?
Are they just lost, do we really need them them to re-establish the morality of our Constitution ?
What will be the force that these retarded progressives will acquiesce to?
They are fighting to deny their own existence and somehow our media and government institutions think this is normal.
The normalization of insanity.
God help us all.
Bingo !!!
