From her vantage point in a ponderosa pine, Amanda Senseman—better known as Warbler—can see for miles. Thursday morning she spotted something that made her angry: California Highway Patrol officers arresting folks who share her opposition to a Highway 101 bypass.
Warbler said at least one of the protesters was chanting support for the tree sitter, who is hoping that her occupation of the pine will stop construction on the bypass.
"I'm angry because they are not listening and they are going ahead with this project that is clearly opposed by most of the people who live here," Warbler said.
CHP spokespeople referred questions to an officer who was not available for comment on Thursday morning.
The arrests went along with the construction of a lot of fencing, Warbler said.
