Some members of the MOU Awards Committee have already discussed giving a certificate of recognition to the city of Herman for their cooperation, as Bob suggests. (We had recently done this for Janet Anderson and her Lewis's Woodpecker in Roosevelt.) Such recognition might also serve as a spark for other municipalities to be more welcoming to birders at their sewage ponds.

I would think at least a letter or a press release or something to acknowledge their help.  It might help us in the future with other entities who are hosting unusual birds that our members would like to see.  At the very least it might be a ray of sunshine for a town that seems to have fallen
