Good point, Paula.
I see it as a massive undertaking, expending much effort and time (and much $$$) with little true benefit. Not to mention what it will take for this growing birding world to adapt. Does anyone know for sure if the train has left the station? I truly want to put a stop to this. Is it still possible?

In this era of habitat loss, climate change, etc., it strikes me that the birds would be better served by directing that funding toward bird research and conservation.
