Tree is also an article this morning's Globe and Mail that references the
report on the state of the world's birds by Bird LIfe International,
discussed at the current international conference going on in Ottawa. This
has links to the actual report,and makes interesting but very depressing
reading.

It's particulary interesting that if a species (such as the Eskimo Curlew)
is not seen in 50 years, it is considered extinct. Actually in the
mid-seventies, one was seen just south of Oak Hammock Marsh (Manitoba) by
David Hatch, the preeminent birder in the province at that time.
