 Thank you so much Bobbie for bringing this to us. I love the mountain gorillas!  From the news piece and the film series, it seems we had better start loving them pretty quick-smart. Don't you just wonder which wildlife efforts to support next! I wonder all the time how much more suffering the human race can bestow upon the earth and it's creatures. Sadly, people just don't get it! Hopefully the current and future generations will become more aware and save this planet from itself. I think that should read save the planet from "us". Its so depressing you do what you can and then you see so many other humans doing the complete opposite. Its like spitting on a forest fire am I really accomplishing anything? But you have to try. I have tried to instill a love of nature in my nieces and nephew and I will continue to try with their children. I have made my home (yard) a place for wildlife. sigh

that would have been cool to see. I probably would of wrecked the tractor though. Now don't get me wrong I like crows and I am sorry they got killed but weren't they asking for it just a bit? They should of chased the eagle away and then left, not keep taunting it. There is a moral in there somewhere.

I remember when they announced that they had sited an Ivory Billed Woodpecker, I had gone to the Wilderness Center and was walking the trails. I came to a rest spot out in the middle of the woods and took a break. (I talk to God out in the woods.) But I said I may never see one God but Thank you for letting them not be extinct". The next thing I knew there was a Pileated woodpecker out of nowhere it was like God said "Your Welcome how about this one instead." Now up until this time I had only ever seen one close up. Since then I have seen them quite frequently. Strange but true. I always want to cry when I read about these guys. Years ago there was a show where they showed filmed footage from the 30's I think of an Ivory Billed then they showed two that were preserved in the Smithsonian I blubbered like a baby. There is just something about these guys that gets to me "the Lord God bird" very fitting.
So I think they are out there somewhere, I truly want to believe they are out there.
What I don't understand is in the article they had proof the bird was in those woods but they logged them anyway. Makes me want to go into the past and put a hurt on those fools.
