Just picked up a few of these bumber stickers on Ebay. Perhaps I will slap them on an unsuspecting patrol vehicle.
No, honestly there a LOT of predators and the guys watching the nests KNOW for a fact that it is not vehicles causing the probems. The frigging crows sit on the cage and wait until the little guy makes it out. If the crows don't get them the skunks hawks coons and others will. The issue with the trucks is that the little chicks like to hang out in the tracks of the trucks and they have good camo. It is easy to run over the little buggers. My point has been to MOVE THE BIRDS TO MONOMOY OR NOMANS OR MUSKEGET OR some other bird reserve island that does not have many of these predators. I think in the long run this is their only shot. Shutting down the entire beach for a bird is absurd IMO.

a guy at a local tackle shop explained it to me this way : we are at the northern most point of the birds' travels, yet we suffer the extreme consequences. the long island area is/was a hot bed for the bird, but now they are all but extinct there. so up here, we get clobbered on these regs.

i say, this is just the way they(the environmentalist wackos)want it. they don't want us on the beachlain and simple. and they will stop at nothing to get us off.
