Having only lived in Ohio for a year and having never been to Columbus I was wondering if anyone would like to help me sort of prioritize? where to go for a day trip. I hope to bird in the am(ish) and maybe furniture shop in the pm(ish). Seems like there are a lot of great places but when reading the list I easily lose track of what is where since I've never been there. If there were one place maybe two to see right now (Thursday or Friday) which would it be? I'm not targeting any particular species though the Godwit would have been nice for sure. I do like water and water birds. You can email directly vs. cluttering the list. Thank you, Marie [log in to unmask] It should be noted that between 1950 and 1984, as the Green Revolution transformed agriculture around the globe, world grain production increased by 250%. The energy for the Green Revolution was provided by fossil fuels in the form of fertilizers (natural gas), pesticides (oil), and hydrocarbon fueled irrigation. The world population has grown by about four billion since the beginning of the Green Revolution and most believe that, without the Revolution, there would be greater famine and malnutrition than the UN presently documents (approximately 850 million people suffering from chronic malnutrition in 2005).[36] ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
