I love your inclusive writing that doesn't shirk emotional reasoning and consciousness, which in the big picture it vital for the birder or human just along for the ride. Fabulous Laura!
Thanks so much, Marge! You understand these issues as well as I do, and you understand how impossible it is to meet birds' (or cows') eyes and not see them as individuals with value and meaning. By the way, you were SO valuable when I was writing my 101 Ways to Help Birds, especially the early-mowing entry. (https://www.lauraerickson.com/way-to-help/27/)
