Re: [cobirds] Lark Bunting to be replaced as official State bird of Colorado

You had me going for a second.  I would like to note, my dear friends, Tom and Sara Shane of Garden City, KS (Tom is the author of the Lark Bunting account for BNA) pointed out to me there is very little representation of our State Bird, the Lark Bunting, on any Colorado memoriablia as found in tourist gift shops, truck stops, etc..  So for the past few years, when traveling through-out the State, I always check for cups, shirts, plates, maps with our beautiful Lark Bunting to show them how proud we are of our bunting.  So far I've found a refrigerator magnet.

 In a widely anticipated move, the  Colorado state legislature's Committee on Natural Resources decided along a party line vote  to replace the Lark Bunting  as the official State Bird.

 The new state bird will be the Eurasian collared-Dove.  According to committee chair woman Lisa Green,  The change was necessitated due to the dwindling population of Lark buntings (much like the declining number of native Coloradoans).

 The aggressive expansion of the Eurasian collared Dove has made it an ideal candidate to replace the Lark Bunting.   According to Miss Green "the Eurasian collared Dove represent everything that is good about the state of Colorado". It is highly aggressive, moves into new territory without much thought of the previous occupant, and is generally taking over every square inch of territory that it finds."

 All official documents and references to the Lark Bunting  our anticipated to be removed by the end of this month.
