And That’s Why Birds Do It…
Spring seems to be coming to Vermont and the birds are all a twitter. Chickadees are crooning their “hey, sweetie” song and the male cardinal in the neighborhood is making sure everyone knows he’s ready to get it on. That ray gun-like song is like Barry White to the female cardinal apparently.
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.
