• Anyone in tune with the natural world knows that change is a constant, and that is certainly true for birds. But it is also true that, because change usually occurs slowly, we humans rarely notice it on a year-to-year basis, even when the cumulative effects are dramatic, and in many cases disturbing. Imagine, for a moment, that we could scoop up the 36-year-old Ralph Palmer, who had just published his magisterial Maine Birds in 1949, and drop him into the second decade of the 21st century in his home state of Maine. He would recognize the bird fauna, of course.
