Since mockingbirds are such a perennial favorite here at 10,000 Birds, I would be remiss if I didn’t draw attention to Gunnar Engblom’s comprehensive look at efforts to restore the critically endangered Floreana Mockingbird. Seems like quite a challenge.
Mike is a leading authority in the field of standardized test preparation, but he's also a traveler who fully expects to see every bird in the world. Besides founding 10,000 Birds in 2003, Mike has also created a number of other entertaining but now extirpated nature blog resources, particularly the Nature Blog Network and I and the Bird.
Thanks for the link Mike! The review got a very interesting comment from Karen James who did the DNA work. Great news that many of the introduced feral animals have now been erradicated…Maybe hope after all for Floreana Mockingbird.
