I guess I'll start with the bird related comments. I forgot to post that i=
t looks like roughly 40 common terns are attempting to nest on the little i=
sland off of the Corkum's Island Road again this year after an absence last=
year.

I at this point do not like the new ebird format. I find it very cumbersom=
e and time consuming compared to entering data on the previous system the w=
ay it is laid out for entry of species with numbers. I also find it hard o=
n the eyes and not clear to focus. Long time entry on the site would cause=
eye strain now to most people I believe. As for the rest of it time will =

Lastly=2C the Dynamite Trail was like the trans Canada for ATV activity on =
June 11. Most of the operators are great and slow down and wave when going=
by. These are responsible drivers and I do not have any beefs with them a=
s it is a multi-use trail and they have every right to be there. I do beli=
eve that the ATV group should patrol and should have the right to levy fine=
s on those who are abusing the trail. There were a number of young individ=
uals and one group of adults that were going way too fast. With bikers and=
walkers on the trail someone is going to eventually get hit or killed with=
the types of actions that I witnessed. This would not be good for all par=
