As many other birder bloggers are doing, I'm posting about the completely asinine Texas Border Wall our federal government plans to install along the Rio Grande River. In the process, they're going to severely compromise and destroy sensitive habitat, and literally hand Sabal Palm Sanctuary over to Mexico. Many other natural areas and wildlife in the region will be adversely impacted and you can read about the whole awful mess at No Border Wall website and blog. It may be too late to do anything about it, but there is now an on-line petition you can sign to express disapproval of the planned destruction.
