Guess nobody had any thoughts to share on Audubon's lists of birds in decline. I did find a list of the five birds whose North American populations, derived in the same way, are *increasing* the most: 1. wild turkey 2. greater white-fronted goose 3. glossy ibis 4. double-crested cormorant 5. Canada goose Some regular contributors to BirdChat had interesting things to say on the topic, which can be found in messages from yesterday at http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CHAT.html#1182015599 .
