My fascination with birds dates to earliest childhood. Entries in my high school senior yearbook profess my interest in ornithology. Birds and their conservation were the focus of a 33-year career as a professional wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that took me from the westernmost Aleutian Islands to the political intrigue of Washington, D.C. In retirement, birds remain my constant obsession.

Actually, they did not venture into the city to find water. They migrate to the city every year for the last decade. The heat and lack of water nearby caused the birds to make their way into traffic. So, citizens put up fences to stop them from walking into certain death. See article below.
