Caught this exhibit at The Burke today – amazing stuff and I really hope the effects are far-reaching, beyond just the river and its own ecosystem. At the end of the exhibit, it says there are over 80,000 dams in the USA and only 750 are being considered for removal. Surely that has to CHANGE!

Kudos to Sea Shepherd, keep it up! Hitting them in the pocketbook is probably the only way to stop this, obviously treaties and public shame do not work…!

I am not sure i’ve seen these guys in the wild before the other day, when one (unfortunately) hit our front window. Thankfully he just hung out in the tree out front until he was ok, then a bit later, three of them were up high in the neighbor’s tree. I think these were Cedar Waxwings, but you be the judge.

Here’s more info on Waxwings – they kind of look like a miniature Cardinal to me.
