I really enjoy making birthday cards for my family. My wife is a self described "bird nerd" so I like to make birthday cards for her depicting native New Zealand birds. This year it is an endangered New Zealand shore plover. Apparently, these guys are critically endangered (something like only 250 left!). There are a lot of endangered birds due to invasive species like rats, stoats, and dogs and cats. The native birds have little to no defence against such creatures and are easy prey at their nesting sites. Well, that is a very sad thing, but hopefully the conservation efforts will prove fruitful. They have already managed to bring several species back from the brink of extinction. I hope that moving these guys to a predator free offshore island will give them the chance they need to repopulate. Cheers!
