the Sunday edition of the New York Times Week in Review looked at Creatures on the Knife’s Edge, including five imperiled North American bird species. But as bleak as the future may look for the California Condor or Kirtland’s Warbler, it seems even more hopeless for the Florida Panther and Northern Atlantic Right Whale, with only 100 and 300 representatives respectively.

Actually, bleak is not the word I would use to describe Kirtland’s Warbler populations. I would opt for hopeful, based on the fact that their numbers are increasing and they are expanding their range to include Michigan’s UP, Wisconsin and even a few sightings in Ontario. Keep the hope alive!
Great point, Drew. Thanks for focusing on the positive!
I was soo happy to see the Kirtlands Warbler when I did! It was such a wonderful day!
