Well, it’s happened again – my first bird of the year was a crow. All winter long, large mixed flocks of crows stream over my home on their way from their downtown roosts out to feed in the farm fields outside of the city.

But the fact is nature has little to do with most problems facing native birds. Casualties surrounding migration were limited to natural events such as weather – not wind generators, poisoned food and water from industry, farm run-off, or loss of traditional stopover areas due to habitat destruction.

I’m not going to rehash that war here, seeing as how it is a bird blog and not one about foreign policy, but it is perhaps appropriate to note the maelstrom of violence that has been pretty much ongoing since the neocons went in to make everything better.

The whistling duck call carries with it the crimes of big business, the failures of governments and the ignorance of irresponsible hunters.
