Bird-Related News
This page contained news relating to land and sea birds, habitat and water, natural resources, climate and related issues. Since the "News" page has been eliminated -- the time-consuming nature of a page like this is too extensive -- I am providing the sources that I gleaned from in the hopes that interested people actively pursue the information they read here.
**Editor's Note: There are multiple articles and letters to the editor from the local newspaper, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, regarding the prairie dog killing on the Lubbock Land Application Site (or "City Farm") in Lubbock. If you are interested in following this thread, do a "find" for "prairie dog" and visit the "Previous Prairie Dog News" link. For information on the current situation, click here.
Links to text files have been converted to Adobe pdf files. If you do not have the Acrobat Reader on your computer, you can download a free version from this website and follow Steps 1, 2 and 3. Please be patient if it takes a few minutes to upload the document after you click a link.
