I am President of Thickson's Woods Land Trust and I have been informed that
a photographer who was on our Thickson's Woods Reserve property was observed
baiting a roosting owl using a dead mouse.  This practice must stop
immediately. I wish to post a warning to all that there will be zero
tolerance in the future for this unacceptable practice.  Since the Reserve
is private property, where people are allowed access if they follow our
posted rules,  trespass charges will be automatic and immediate for any and
all caught baiting any owls or for that matter any bird species going
forward at the Thickson's Woods Reserve .

Thank you

Otto Peter

President TWLT
