Way to go!

My writer friend w/ MS in NH who is increasingly finding himself
confined to his house... I traded him a LI bird for a NH rock.
Whenever I see a bird on LI it is his. He picked a stationary rock in
his yard to be mine.

Piping Plovers on LI are endangered. They freeze when in danger.
They tend to build nests in the ruts of beach 4 wheelers... so the 4
wheelers are banned from the beach.
This is a problem for the wealthy who own their beaches.
The Piping Plover population though no longer getting run over did not
recover.
There may not have been enough ruts to nest in.
Turned out the red fox population was thriving... and the sly foxes did
not know the law.
So all the fox were trapped and shipped off to a non-Piping Plover part
of the state.
