The
Sage Grouse is an interesting bird, native to northern California. Its
numbers are seriously declining, due to intrusion into its habitat by a
non-native grass. This grass makes the area very susceptible to wild
fires, which is kind of hard on the birds nesting areas.
There
is a herbicide that is very effective in controlling this stuff, but of
course if you say "herbicide" or "chemical spraying" to the tree
huggers they either faint or start screaming obscenities at you.
Unfortunately if they do not do something about it pretty soon the birds
may be gone. It's kind of like a Christian Scientist with a hot
appendix. Damned if you do, dead if you don't.
