Heron protection

Dear Editor: In support of Sue Ellen Fast and others of the Bowen Heron Watch, I want to add my voice to those in favor of some accommodation during the few short months of heron’s nesting season.

Dear Editor:

In support of Sue Ellen Fast and others of the Bowen Heron Watch, I want to  add my  voice to those in favor of some accommodation during the few short months of heron’s nesting season. This, I understand, includes loud noises from motorized lawn mowers.
So the lawn in front of the library is a mess (definition of “mess” being subjective.) So we would trade sightings of those magnificent birds (an example of nature’s fascinating ordering of the  universe) for a manicured lawn? Shame on us!
I hope we can protect our herons and try to not resent some small measures towards this end.
