News: Woodpeckers, Nuthatches & Chickadees

I agree with you, bcf, I, too, wish there could be a "win-win" solution.

My sick brain isn't working these days but to bad they couldn't somehow capture the birds and send them elsewhere.
birdcamfan:
I guess while we enjoy watching webcams and appreciate the beauty of nature, not all interactions between humans and other species are positive. It's kind of heart wrenching because as a bird lover, you can see the view of a couple of woodpeckers just trying to eat and nest. As a human, you can see the view of a congregation just trying to keep their building intact and their expenses down. Is there a win-win solution here? Not likely.

...i'm not sure i entirely agree; sounds horrible to go out and kill two birds with a gun, but, $26,000 damage? Wow...pileated woodpeckers are not a threatened species, and we don't seem to have any problem with the deaths of all the birds being fed to the peregrines and their young...peregrines will defend their territories to the death, and we humans are also a recognized species, we do have some rights. It's not like moving the church is a viable or reasonable option...(not trying to be offensive, not trying to bait anybody, just offering an opinion)...
sami:
Seems to be a problem with "conservation" officers. They seem to be all too ready to shoot something. It certainly wasn't our intention to get the birds killed - we just wanted them to move on, and were looking for more solutions than we had been able to come up with on our own.
