Letter: Birds are a reminder

We have been so fortunate these last two weeks to be hosting here a number of loons, a large flock of white pelicans, cormorants and other migrating waterfowl, as well as some summer osprey and eagles. People have stopped to watch in awe and photograph them. It makes one pause in gratitude to be living in such an incredible place, but also in self reflection: Are we offering them a healthy ecosystem, or are the fish they ingest filled with toxins that might harm or kill them later on their journeys?
