All,
This Washington Post piece, Interior Department rejects 25 endangered species petitions, including several linked to climate change, may be of interest: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/10/05/interio r-department-rejects-25-endangered-species-petitions-including-several-linke d-to-climate-change/?utm_term=.0cdb7818d1eb The petition to list Bicknell's Thrush was made in 2010 and after 7 years waiting for the decision, it was rejected by the Interior Department. I'd like to post the reaction that I loudly vented to my husband, but none of it would be allowed on the lists. I'm beyond furious.
