I met David Walmark at Hirtle's Beach and t= he beach itself was deserted except for a man a woman and a child. David ha= d arrived a little before me and there were shorebirds=2C terns=2C gulls an= d other birds on the spit of Hirtle's Pond. The people who had the whole b= each to walk on decided to walk out on the spit and have a great time jumpi= ng up and down and waving their arms to chase each and every bird away. Wh= en I arrived the spit was empty and all of the good birds were gone. I was= very disappointed to say the least. Some people just have no brains or kn= owledge about the natural world around them and live in a world entirely on= their own. Those birds having come so far needed a place to rest and roos= t before their long trip back home and there was no need to disturb them. = Anyhow=2C needlessly to say there was no sign of the snowy plover there and= we did not locate it at Kingsburg Beach either.
