[Flycatcher]

I could have written this.

In fact, a couple of months ago, I posted something similar (but far more succinct) about these two words.

Out in the field, these two terms are NOT interchangeable. The Left really does gravitate to the word "environmentalist" while those on the Right consistently describe themselves as "conservationists."

It may sound funny, but whenever I hear fellow biology/wildlife field workers describe themselves as conservationists, I know I'm in good company.

I know the "code." :^)

I leave the old dock posts in the water because they draw wildlife. There's an old willow tree laying in the water right next to it that collects turtles by the dozen.
