I'm not sure if I want to read this but I feel as though it would be wrong not to.

Not only informative, but it really opens a person's eyes to the fact of we humans need to conserve our nature and the world that surrounds our lifestyles.<br /><br />You say: "the key to understanding is education and awareness of what is at stake for humans, birds and the environment alike" Yes indeed.<br /><br />I will check to see where I can purchase one of these books. It should be a must read. Perhaps getting schools involved in this ... getting this book for text purposes to teach Science. The younger generations should become aware.Anni https://www.blogger.com/profile/11805303710992562752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-11502122449350848422013-04-13T22:57:58.327+01:002013-04-13T22:57:58.327+01:00i might be an odd one - but i have been a real fan...i might be an odd one - but i have been a real fan of vultures. any sort. i think they look so tough & mean. a bit of armor too.

One year, there were three, one obviously a juvenile, being trained by its parents. I was delighted.<br />A late friend of ours was very active in working to re-establish populations of Bald Eagles on the British Columbia coast. He installed many "eagle cams" in trees where the growing population can be watched. There are several nests with young in them this year, and the populations are thriving.<br />In California, the San Diego Zoo has been active in re-establishing populations of condors in Mexico's Baja California and other areas.<br />I hope this book can serve as a warning to many people that something needs to be done, and done soon.<br />Meanwhile, I've looked for more photos of birds from our visit to Italy, and have only been able to find one more "unknown" but it is just another cormorant. Of course, we saw plenty of pigeons!<br />KKay L.

Excellent suggestion on what to do with my second book.<br /><br />This hits close to home as I've been hearing rumors one of our local species of the Grasshopper Sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum floridanus) has declined so severely that consideration is being given to trying to capture all those remaining in the wild.<br /><br />I'm currently involved in a six year breeding bird atlas project. It will be interesting to compare the results with the previous data from 30 years ago.<br /><br />Thank you for an important, if alarming, post.Wally Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121368850135565674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-32162431999330010462013-04-11T16:20:22.757+01:002013-04-11T16:20:22.757+01:00Thank you for such an informative post.
