I encourage you to review the successful use of combined methods such as egg addling, scare devices, repellents and habitat modification in Virginia, Maryland and other states.</p> <p></p> <p>Coexisting peacefully with wildlife requires diligence, creativity and an open mind. Please do not kill these majestic birds who bond in close-knit social groups and mate for life.</p> <p></p> <p>Thank you,</p>
