Make a Big Diff

I don’t know if you used that slang when you were a kid but I did. Yeah, and I know I just tagged myself as 80’s but hey, what’s the big diff? I’m gonna bring back that 80’s slang and tweak it Bird Diva style. I wanna invite you all to make a big diff as a birder.

The 2009 State of the Birds Report was recently released and I gotta say I was a little overwhelmed by some of the doom & gloom press it generated. I’m on Twitter now and have chosen to follow a number of conservation groups, some who were involved in putting together the report. I kept getting tweets telling me just about every habitat group of birds was experiencing a “serious decline”. Retweet that a couple of hundred times and that can get pretty defeatist, depressing.
