Actually, the Department of Defense has stated a few times that bombing bird areas might be good for birders. Their logic: Bombing disperses birds so that more people can see them. Also, they have said that if a species is rare more birders enjoy finding them. Bombing would help the process along. (I think that one was used in Vieques). Whether Bush is on board with this . . .?
