The Mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System is to administer a national network of lands and waters for the conservation, management, and where appropriate, restoration of the fish, wildlife, and plant resources and their habitats within the United States for the benefit of present and future generations of Americans 1. We think so.

Birders care about bird science and conservation, but also about access to birding sites and facilities as those locations, etc. Avian science and conservation are well covered by large and well-financed national non-profits. Secondly, the ABA should increase and formalize its advocacy for birders. It would not be a Herculean task.

It’s not an exact science, but it’s to get an idea of general usage and to see how the habitat can be managed in a better way for migratory feeding. If you’d like to follow any of our waterfowl numbers this fall you can check out our updates on the US Fish and Wildlife site. Here’s an example of what we see.

I’m not a fan of some of the cuts to science, but National came in in 2008. It is easy to make the argument that one, extractive (hunting, logging, fishing) is bad and the other (birding, diving, hiking) is good, but to my mind this simplistic black and white view point is completely wrong.
