[cobirds] Evening Grosbeak; Denver Post editorial

A lone female Evening Grosbeak just visited my birdbath.  This is the first grosbeak I've seen in months. Coincidentally, I had just read a very timely editorial on the Denver Post's Sunday OP-ED page entitled "Migrating animals, especially birds, need our help".

I strongly encourage everyone to read this sobering article by Pepper Trail. According to some estimates, Evening Grosbeaks have declined by 90%, and 1/3 of migratory birds have been lost since the 1970s. The same declines are true for many animals and insects, as well.
