I was the original responder to your email James and it wasn't directed
to you at all. I heve been grouchy since March 22 when Carol and I
returned from a birding trip to find that the premier had established a
state of emergency. Since that time I have faithfully stayed at home
and stopped birding. My comment was towards those people who continued
to bird and report their sightings. Parker was just agreeing with me I
think.

James and it wasn't directed to you at all. I heve been grouchy
since March 22 when Carol and I returned from a birding trip to
find that the premier had established a state of emergency. Since
that time I have faithfully stayed at home and stopped birding.
My comment was towards those people who continued to bird and
report their sightings. Parker was just agreeing with me I think.<br>

<span>I'm not sure if this was directed towards me or towards
someone else. If you are directing it towards me than I'd
like to set the record straight. I'm not thumbing the
Emergency Public Health Order. It was not me who went to the
beach, I'm just the reportee. I'm not disputing what the
government is doing in any way. I should have added that the
restrictions are there to protect myself and others from the
virus. I'm aware of that. My whole point is that I don't
want others to go to beaches after the birds. The posting was
only for the record. To also set the record straight I'm
working from home and social distancing. I have not had any
association with my friends, birding or otherwise other than
through email or over the phone. I also have not visited my
dad or any of my family members. With the odd exception I
only leave the house for necessities of life. I've taken a
few walks around home and have gone for the odd drive. The
drive is always by myself and usually associated with car
repairs or for a trip for food or meds. Any photos that I've
taken since social distancing has come into effect were
through my car window or when taking a walk close to home
