State of the Birds

I just heard about this and thought everyone here would be interested in visiting this site.

Excerpt from the Foreword:
In an unprecedented partnership, government wildlife agencies and conservation groups have come together to produce this first comprehensive analysis of the state of our nation’s birds. The results are sobering: bird populations in many habitats are declining—a warning signal of the failing health of our ecosystems. Where we have been negligent too long, such as in Hawaii, we are on the verge of losing entire suites of unique and beautiful birds and native plant communities.

At the same time, we see heartening evidence that birds can respond quickly and positively to conservation action. Many waterfowl species have undergone significant increases in the past 40 years, a testament to coordinated conservation efforts in wetlands. Through focused conservation efforts, we have brought magnificent Peregrine Falcons and Bald Eagles back from the brink of extinction.

Thanks evie! Linthicum is going to post it in the Sticky thread.

It would be great if everyone could take a good look at this.

Interesting report. A lot of striking similarities to the problems birds face in Europe.
