Doug, I'm not understanding your administration.
Why was "BIRDS (Woodpecker - life and death struggle)" moved to OT.
I have had several posts moved and I see no reason for this one, (as one example) to be moved from our general readership.
Please explain, new rules???

That's my guess, if you want some idea (until or if Doug responds).

Thanks David.
Doesn't make sense though. The Crows post was in the same category and pull 600+ hits I believe and a lively discussion about crows. Baja had nothing
to do with that either.
That was the reason for my comment, things get changed without explanation.

Right, and I see your point... but it is Doug's baby, and it is the #1 Baja forum, none other come close... so, as the administrator, he can delete or
move any post he wants. Crows or Ravens live in Baja, and we see or hear them all the time in the desert. Maybe that's the difference?

Now that the OFF-TOPIC posts show up on the "Today's Posts" page, they are more integrated into the message board resulting in the same visibility as
the rest of the threads. IMHO a good move on Doug's part. Apparently the move is making the OFF-TOPIC thread less toxic. I hope it results in a
broader range of off topic posts.

No need for such a vicious personal attack for a simple misstatement. This is a message board, not a "vendetta" board.
Living Large in Loreto. Off-grid and happy.

I didn't mean to sound like I was a woodpecker expert in any way... Of course they are in Baja, just as they are here in San Diego County... I used to
hear them tapping away when I lived near Escondido. The border doesn't stop birds from crossing south. However, since most of us are more familiar
with the desert region or pass through the desert going to Baja Sur, ravens are the birds we see there, not woodpeckers. I was just offering a "maybe
why" for Cisco... that's all.
edit: and that is not saying they are not in the desert or Baja Sur, it just isn't a species we see regularly or daily like ravens and vultures... I
am sure BigOly has photos of woodpeckers in Baja Sur!

Don't know if this falls under the OT topic or not, but...
