Hope you all don't take me as a doomsdayer,but found the above article and links interesting.Maybe this is one reason we're having such problems with the BOP.----------

All birds but hawks, Starlings, and English Sparrows.
Hawks are the conservationists poster children.
When it comes to hawks they still have a 1980 perspective (endangered).
Hawk populations continue to climb, while there pray populations decline.
The hawks may not be the reason for bird populations to be in decline, but it will be very difficult to reverse the trend with the additional pressure from the BOP.
Question is will they figure it out in time???
