... on their cars! Saw some fun (and funny) sights in the parking lots at Magee last weekend. First of all, the number of Toyota Prius and Honda Civic hybrid vehicles was great. Way to go, birders, for being eco-aware, and making your footprint on this earth as small as possible. (As for you SVU drivers out there, and you know who you are, I can only assume you were carpooling with your birding pals, right?)
Secondly, many people had birding or environmental bumper stickers and window decals on their cars, supporting their local birding club or promoting outdoor fun and education.
This person listens to NPR, belongs to the National Wildlife Federation, and wants to encourage kids to get outdoors. Sounds good to me.
This Ohio birder is a member of the ABA, the OOS, and Columbus Audubon. S/he also supports the American Bird Conservancy, the BSBO,and the National Wildlife Refuge system. I can get behind that.
Bet you can't guess whose car this is!
Saw many political decals, too, like the Kerry/Edwards backers who won't give up, or my favorite political sticker, "I disliked Bush before disliking Bush was popular."
Birding at Magee isn't limited to the boardwalk. You can get some of your best sightings in the parking lot.
I saw a peregrine,(Susan almost stole this plate!)
I've seen the Pile8D folks before...at Adams County, I think. And for the record, I was NOT going to steal that plate. I just wanted to borrow it for a minute.
I'm a "pile8d" in another state..people always ask me what "pile-8D" means. I've even gotten "Oh, you do pileates?" I'm still waiting for someone to finally say "oh, pileated woodpecker!" Guess I need to drive to more birding events. :-)
I've made a collection of (mostly bird) personalized license plates. Like you, picked up a lot of them in the parking lot at Magee Marsh in May '08. Here's my set (hey, we got some of the same cars!)
Come visit me in my world,
5 acres of southwest Ohio, which I share with a collection of pets and wild things. Take your shoes off and have a seat - what we can find to talk about today?
Since April 1, 2009 (with a few exceptions), Canon Rebel Xsi, using either a Canon EFS 18-55mm IS lens or a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Before April, 2009, a Canon Powershot A530 point and shoot with 5 megapixels and a 4x optical zoom.

I'm happy to answer your general pet questions. Please remember, I cannot diagnose or prescribe medications for a pet on-line, and I will not criticize or second-guess the way another vet has handled a case.
That being said, feel free to e-mail me at KatDocsWorld1@verizon.net

I enjoy reading decals, license plates, and bumper stickers. They tell a lot about the person inside.

I have actually ridden in the "PILE8D" car before!
