I tuned into to this program when it was broadcast last year.  It's a 
compelling story, vital to the Red Knot, the Horseshoe Crab, and to Humans.
   Please watch Channel 2 tonight and then act; let your Congressional 
delegation know that this issue is important to you and that you want them 
to make laws to protect habitat and preserve these species.  With so many 
demands for tax dollars for different "critical" causes, it's important 
that we birders make our voices heard.  We are one of the largest special 
interest groups and do have considerable clout.  Time is short. Please 
speak out on this issue.

Kind regards,
Steve Slocum
