Good afternoon Tweeters,

I've recently spoken with a friend who attended an environmental activism
seminar. One of the issues raised there was a concern that one of the results
of the infamous "timber rider" is that the Marbled Murrelet could be put in
danger of extinction. I was not aware that we even knew enough about the
murrelet's nesting habits to make such a prediction - or perhaps the full
argument is because we don't know it's nesting habits we don't know the
impact of yet more old-growth logging.

Does anyone know if this has any legitmacy, or if it's hyperbole to get
folks goaded into action?
