Hi Birders, Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar released the State of the Birds report today.
Details and video can be found at www.fws.gov and http://www.fws.gov/home/feature/2009/SOTB_NewsRelease_19Mar09.pdf and http://www.stateofthebirds.org Fully 1/3 of of the nation's birds are in serious decline. There is a lot of work we need to do to as birders and scientists to move this trend in a positive direction. Thank you to the folks in the Colorado birding and conservation community that contributed to this report, which is a great many if you for example did a Christmas Bird Count, a BBS route, etc. etc.! Best, Scott Severs Longmont P.S. the Bald Eagle in Colorado will be removed from the state threatened list on May 1, these birds are doing very well indeed. Boulder County went from 0 nesting pairs just a few years ago to five nesting pairs nowadays!
