I promote birding and conservation and all things outdoors including hiking with my dog (and enjoy that other people hike with their dogs as well). I visit a lot of forest preserves WITH my dog. I am not afraid of any other people at the preserves. I promote shade grown coffee because it is good for birds as this particular brand works hard to help bird conservation.

I would be interested in more information on this and definitely do not like it if birders are unable to enjoy a fine preserve because of dog issues. As a dog person I think we can coexist in parks.

I love that last photo - the great egret always looks so elegant. Veery and SnowyOwl – what a productive day, especially as hot as it was.
