Hello! Please be advised that a vacant property in Oswego, NY (Town of Scriba) is home to a population of Killdeer (Charadrius
vociferus) that nest on the ground. Someone is planning to build a structure and septic field there very soon
with no regard for these birds or their habitat.
- Their nesting area would be torn apart.
- A proposed leach field would pollute the habitat and nearby wetlands.
- Displaced Killdeer would never return to the area.
We need signatures on this Petition ASAP!
Additional info is available at: [email protected]
We
have watched the Killdeer families for years. If you come too close,
they
pretend to have a broken wing to lure you away from their nest. Killdeer are
protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), and moving their
nests requires permission from the US Government. Violations of MBTA
include fines and imprisonment.
The Killdeer will be returning from migration in March 2022, only 6 weeks away.
We need to raise awareness and STOP this construction project.
Please sign the Petition!!!
Thank you, ~ Friends of the Biosphere

The silence from the planning office is exhausting but I am still sending these inquiries out to keep the pressure on. Knowing these birds will arrive soon keeps me focused even when progress feels invisible.

Seeing the momentum grow has been exhausting but necessary. This attention proves that people still care about what happens to the land here.

I see these birds every spring near my house and the way they fake a broken wing is just amazing to watch. please leave them be and find somewhere else to build your building.

GOD-willing, very soon the very best and enforceable animal welfare laws and regulations shall become prevalent throughout the world. May GOD-ALMIGHTY save animals from the horrors of human induced abuse, cruelty, torture, neglect, and habitat destruction.
