What I do not respect were the attitudes taken towards these posters and the closed-mind attitude of 'it's the law and it's clear cut'. As for knowledge and experience, there is always something to learn, but what is is on this thread I'm not sure ...other than if you find a bird in the U.S., heaven help you if you reveal it on Bird Forum. :-O</blockquote>
