Birders protest Malheur Refuge occupation

More than 100 bird-watchers flocked to the Capitol today to protest the armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon, waving signs with slogans including, “Keep public land public,” “Bobolinks, not Bullies” and “Bundys, Time to Migrate – to Jail!” Nancy DeWitt showed off the high-tech binoculars she wore strapped to her side, announcing with a grin, “We’re open carrying!” She said, “I love Malheur, and I plan to go birding there in March for the first time in many years, because I’ve been living in Alaska. I’m very mad these criminals have taken it over”/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise. More here .
