McLandress is also the president of the California Waterfowl Association. This is because of the Bureau of Reclamations decision to increase lake levels and stop most of the release of water to the 185 miles of canal system. Now the B.O.s say the irrigation water from the nearly over-flowing Upper Klamath Lake can not be allowed. McLandress added that 250,000,000 million birds migrate through the Pacific flyway in the Klamath Basin. They need distributed water and 70,000 pounds of food.

Millions of birds glean food from the fields. U.S. congressmen, senators, state senators, legislators and county officials passed buckets down Main Street lined with folks who stand to lose their livelihoods, homes, the land they love and the right to live where they choose.

If you like water control, your gonna love gun control.
