Birds Are Dying As Drought Ravages Avian Highways

In Suisun City, California, extreme droughts have made it harder for the local birds to survive.  The diminishing wetlands have left many plants, insects, and fish  homeless, and the smaller amount of food available to the birds in the area has in turn caused their population to decrease.   Restoration of these diked shorelines is in progress to hopefully reverse the effects of the drought.  Many species have been coming back into these waters due to this restoration, but lack of support could cause this project to slow down or end altogether.  Personally, I believe that the California State Government should be taking more action in making sure that the researchers observing this wildlife have the proper resources needed to ensure the recovery of these habitats and that these actions should be taken sooner rather than later.
