"Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?”  -  Rachel Carson (1907-1964; marine biologist, conservationist, author whose books include ‘Silent Spring’.  Sir David Attenborough has remarked that that book may have had an effect on science second only to Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species”.)

good birding,
