Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Defunding Bird Banding Lab and more
Hopefully not inappropriate to share a WaPo opinion piece this morning
calling attention to one program slated for defunding under the
administration's bill currently in the Senate: the USGS's Ecosystems
Mission Area. This includes funding for the Bird Banding Lab whose
activities support and result in much of what we know about movements and
life histories of birds in No. America...and beyond, since so many are
migratory.

This link should allow you access to that Opinion essay:

Oh--and the rest of what that program does seems useful also 🤔
