I see him accomplishing wonderful things in his life and much in the name of saving species of animals. He is compassionate and understands the challenges our world creates with the environment and wildlife. I see him having a definite, positive, long-lasting impact, somehow in some way.
You and T-40 got me looking more closely at Environmental Health News and I zoned in on "Winged Warnings" articles. Here's something interesting to read about deformed beaks appearing in Chickadees in Alaska and how it could be caused by a new virus. I hope they figure this one out for the sake of the birds:

LOL! I went right to "Winged Warnings" too, glogdog!

We certainly didn't do the bald eagle any favors by removing it from the Endangered Species Act, because Federal agency approvals like this don't have to consider the effects on eagles any more!

Handle with Care - I'm glad some of these issues of what's found at the local garbage dump are being brought to the forefront.
T40 - thank goodness for the farmers and environmental groups trying to stop that decision to use that herbicide. Here's hoping they are successful!

Here's an interesting fact - a (two-toned) Cardinal bird :
