Well said, Caleb and David,
While we birders love to see the rarities, it’s good to remember that the commonness of birds also is special. Birds are ubiquitous, eking out a living from the Arctic to the Antarctic, and everywhere in between. Everyone can notice birds—plumage, nest-building, young-tending, how and what they eat. As we enjoy the birds, we can’t help but notice how difficult their lives are—finding food and shelter, escaping predators, attracting mates, making epic migrations. The more we learn about birds, the more we appreciate each bundle of feathers. That leads us to wanting to protect those fragile creatures—and that’s what leads us to conservation of all the habitat those bundles of energy depend on. Thank you., Caleb, for helping to lead other folks, not just to birds, but to a recognition of how life works, and what we can do to conserve it.
