One would have thought that the lengthy discussion on the illegal persecution of these raptors, which this site has hosted, would make persons think twice about reporting their wintering on a NY Moors grouse farm. Clearly not so! Some members will recall the disappearance of a fairly regular communal roost in our region many years ago. Draw your own conclusions as to why that might have taken place!
Please desist from publishing this information in such a fashion. There are other ways of telling those should know.
I thank you all.
