Profound apologies for not "proofing" my message before posting it; how
embarrassing for the wife of an ornithological editor.
The first sentence should have read:
*The population of the purple finch - our state bird - has dropped 50% since
the 1960s.

*The population of the purple finch - our state bird - has dropped 0% sine
the 1960s.
*The once familiar song of the whippoor-will is silent across more than half
of the area where it was heard just 25 years ago.
