Has anyone else noticed the excessive amount of bird droppings that collect on the short path between Rivercampus and Park Lot every winter? After a good snow thaw the layer of bird droppings can virtually blanket the entire sidewalk. The smell is nauseating. Clearly, this is not the result of natural events uninflenced by human activity. Can the Campus Times get to the bottom of this mystery? Has someone been feeding these birds and causing them to congregate in such high density over Park Lot? If so, what are they feeding them!?
