[rec.birds] Dusky Seaside Sparrows

@utzoo.uucp (Jim Rising) (02/20/88)

As I understand it, the ornithologists told the Fish & Wildlife Service
that the Dusky's fate was signed, sealed and delivered the day they 
decided to build the causeway used to carry the rockets to the Kennedy
launch site.  The feds decided that it wasn't worth it to save only a
"subspecies."  A victim of the space program.
