[Tweeters] The East 90 - a question?

   The East 90 is proving to again be a reliable location for Harriers 
and SEOW.  However,

unlike last year, the birds are staying quite a ways away from the 
road.  There

certainly are lots of photographers and viewers present  ... at just 
about any time of

day and any day of the week - about the only thing that cuts down on the 
numbers

is bad weather/bad light.

   As to the subject of the birds staying back away from the road (most 
of the time) - I

have a question.  Is it ethical to drop some corn kernels in the grass 
near the road?

I'm not talking 'right along the road/ditch' but rather in the grass on 
the other

side of the ditch.

   This should attract the voles which should attract the Harriers and 
SEOWs.)  Is it likely

to work?  If one were to do this - would you need to do it several 
times?  And

what kind of frequency?  Every 3 or 4 days for 2 or 3 weeks? More?

P.S. The new parking area is getting used - but it doesn't seem to make 
any difference

        in the number of cars parked along the road.  There have 
-definitely- been some

       hunters in the legal areas of the Samish Flats and Fir Island.
