I say this only because of your concern about the time and money going
to save these birds. I was very interested in rehabbing at one point,
then realized that my time and money could be going to species survival,
rather than survival of individuals. I don't mean to criticize those
who feel otherwise, but simply wanted to address your concern in the
context of the "bigger picture."
If you would like, I can provide a list of references on song learning.>
Ellen, Thanks for your informative response. Yes, I wold be interested
in the song learning references. I`m going to ask some of the higher
ups @ Tri-State what they know about released songbirds being able to
join breeding populations. This is very interesting to me, and somewhat
discouraging too.
Thanks, Leslie Fisher
