Subject: Lights Out -- film
As I have gotten older I find more realities that cause me to tear up. I think maybe when I was younger, I was so busy trying to save Red-cockaded Woodpeckers or something like that I didn’t notice other things. I just receive my copy of Cornell Lab’s Living Bird (Spring 2024 issue). Found this link on page 6:

When I got the film up for viewing, https://vimeo.com/864167354/344158b068<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F864167354%2F344158b068&data=05%7C02%<7Carbird-l...>%7Cba28e9b04dd94f02175408dc5fcb4d9d%7C79c742c4e61c4fa5be89a3cb566a80d1%7C0%7C0%7C638490573979064024%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=aO88NLiVCvjyFvbxH0JeJZmOLZG3%2B%2FLecPKPWWLxykQ%3D&reserved=0>

The film features activity in neighboring Texas, but Arkansas is right there. It applies here, too. The birds in this film are the birds we find in Arkansas.

We all want to do something for people and for birds. This short beautifully produced film points the way toward projects we could and can do, and that could annually save hundreds of millions and possibly over a billion birds.

After so many years of this, I still believe, and want to believe, people can do better. That people would all be better off, rich and poor, regardless of belief or national original, if we as people did better by the world into which we have been born.

We can do better by the creatures with whom we share this planet. We will be better if we do so.
