Thanks for sending this. As a big fan of all things jay, I found it interesting until I realized it is an example of the effects of climate change on bird populations. Then suddenly the article became sobering...and even more so when I followed another link on the same page "Goodbye California..." https://thecottonwoodpost.net/2021/04/04/goodbye-california-reminisces-of-a-climate-refugee/
With all our rain, we are somewhat removed from what's happening out west. But read the article and you'll learn that, even after the rain that is following CA's devastating fires, the oak woodlands and savannahs that have been burned will likely NOT grow back. They're gone. That habitat is GONE! A totally depressing view of the world that's rapidly approaching us. Sorry to be a downer, but it's reality....And of course we all know this...
