It is great to see migratory waterfowl featured. The reality, however, is that BU and the state's Department of Conservation and Recreation are aggressively taking steps to destroy animals visiting or living on the Charles River. Just last week, the Boston Conservation Commission barred the DCR from ANY vegetation management on the Boston side of the Charles River because of the DCR's environmental destructiveness and harm to the habitat of migratory waterfowl. A few days before that, the DCR, caused needless destruction to the habitat of the Charles River White Geese. They destroyed three quarters of the tiny ghetto to which the DCR has confined them with bizarre vegetation projects at Magazine Beach. A responsible agency would allow them to return to Magazine Beach where they have lived for most of the last 30 years, and let them return without the POISONS that are now being dumped there. The nesting area was destroyed once before, by BU working for the DCR. BU then proceeded to lie that BU did not do it until the Cambridge Conservation Commission condemned them for their work. So BU proceeded to blame the president's secretary. BU is environmentally reprehensible (to use a word a judge recently used against Cambridge, one of BU's accomplices). So admire that beautiful bird, but the bird is being threatened by a very irresponsible Boston University and its friends.
