Baiting of some kind is so widespread, we\'d have difficulty avoiding it. The Taverner\'s Geese in my photo here were baited, by the grass that was planted for the lawn. More than a million white-cheeked geese winter in our region, most of them baited here by the millions of acres involved in grass-seed farming. Before this enterprise existed, there were only a few wintering geese. If I\'m going to be a non-baiting purist, I\'ll have to forget about ever photographing any of them again. The Robins and Flickers at a backyard holly tree, would have to be off-limits, as well. No more Accipter shots, when they come to catch doves at my feeders.
