Birds are a priceless part of the American heritage. Beautiful, entertaining and economically & eco important. They also reflect the health of our environment. A new "State of the Birds" report was released this week and reveals troubling declines of bird populations during the past 40 years—a warning signal of the failing health of our ecosystems. At the same time, evidence is noted that strategic land management and conservation action can reverse declines of birds. The report calls attention to the collective efforts needed to protect nature’s resources forthe benefit of all people and wildlife. You can listen to Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar's March 19 press conference and download a copy of the full report here.
