Have we all forgotten that "evolution" is an on-going process? It did
NOT stop with European invaders of the North American continent, and
will NOT stop just because we decide to stop or start feeding birds.
Whether or not scrub-jays or Anna's hummingbirds are where they
"ought not" be is not an indictment of OUR, human meddling. They
might actually be where they are showing up BECAUSE their genetics
tell them to be there, regardless of external pressures or benefits!
Sorry, but "sheesh" already! Stop blaming humans for everything "out
of the ordinary". What's "ordinary"? - Jim Greaves, Thompson Falls MT
