10,000 Birds

I’m extremely grateful to Paul for taking the initiative in raising awareness of this NWR campaign. You may even have some profound insights that need to be shared in this public forum. His underlying point should be well taken by all of us: Birders and bird-educators could have an impact on the future of the Refuge System.

A Guan was collected in 1876 in a mangrove forest near the border between Peru and Ecuador. It was decades later that Maria Keopcke, a German ornithologist with a long trajectory in Peru suggested to expand the search of the Guan to areas not surveyed before. This is a very small number of birds in a small area.

If you wrote to Tennessee in the 10,000 Birds campaign this winter, you can cut and paste your letter, changing “Tennessee&# to “Kentucky.&# Letters from Eden (Houghton Mifflin, 2006) will soon be followed by a memoir about the birds she has raised, healed, studied and followed throughout her life.
