Subject: [centralvalleybirds] Swainson's Hawks Status
We have posted a petition on change.org ( http://change.org/ ) to oppose the California Building Industry proposal to delist Swainson’s Hawks which would remove legal protections for Swainson's Hawks and their habitat.  The petition explains the issue so I urge you to follow our link below to determine whether you want to sign the petition.
Keep Swainson's Hawks protected ( https://www.change.org/p/keep-swainson-s-hawks-protected-in-california?utm_medium=custom_url&utm_source=share_petition&recruited_by_id=16dec4f0-d80d-012f-101e-4040496dcccb&share_id=hWcBsydg )

Raptors Are The Solution has published a very thorough article on this subject with interviews with key scientific experts that you can review on line through the link below.

Our petition has over 1200 signatures but we are not stopping here.  The network created on change.org ( http://change.org/ ) for this cause will give us a way to keep the interested public updated as the process unfolds over the next few months or even years.  So we do want Central Valley birders to be in the know about this important issue of avian conservation.  Signing the petition is the way to do that.  There are several updates on the change.org ( http://change.org/ ) site for this petition that will bring you up to date.

Thanks for your help in conserving Swainson’s Hawks and their habitat.  You can visit our website at FOSH ( http://www.swainsonshawk.org )

Feel free to email with questions or concerns.
