Birds and the border wall

Editor's Note: We received a lengthy response from Steve Hodapp to Laura Neale's feature in the February 2019 newsletter, "The Rio Grande: what would The Wall mean for birds" In her piece, Laura noted that the Rockbridge Bird Club had signed on to a letter from the American Bird Conservancy expressing concern over plans to expand the United States - Mexico border wall across environmentally sensitive conservation areas. See below to read the Conservancy letter and Steve's response.
