What birds are likely to be forced toward extinction?
A-We are concerned about ice-loving birds such as Ivory and Ross’s Gulls that share habitat with polar bears and Arctic-breeding shorebirds such as American Golden-Plover and Buff-breasted Sandpiper. We are very concerned about coastal birds such as Piping Plover and Saltmarsh Sparrow and coastal seabirds like Kittlitz’s Murrelet and Ashy Storm-Petrel. We are also concerned about mountaintop birds such as Brown-capped and Black Rosy-Finches and Bicknell’s Thrush.
