Glad to see people starting to pay attention to the migratory bird problem. I wonder if the destruction of 9/10 of the vast marshes in SE Iraq is adding to this problem. They were larger than the Everglades, and a major stopover on the migratory bird route. Now I guess they spend more time in rural fields and ponds.
See my post at FR "Possible link between eurasian bird flu and destruction of Iraq marshes." We should get those marshes restored ASAP.
Look what they found when Saddam drained the swamps. Interesting thread.
