That Bachman's warbler is beautiful. Such a shame.
> “The bird had a ‘buzzy’ song, and the song added to the beauty of the bird, and when combined that added to the magic of North Carolina. We lost a little magic when we lost the species. And what’s really sad is that the Bachman’s warbler was abundant at the turn of the 20thcentury, but by 1950 it was noted as one of the rarest birds in North America.”
This hurts, especially knowing that it's a story that we've unfortunately told a thousand times in the past hundred years.
