No, I didn't expect birds per se to make it into the debates. A long list of subjects were touched on, but the one most important to birds -- and to us -- never got out of the gate. Candidates ignored it, which is no surprise. The journalist moderators also ignored it, which should be to their shame. Global warming should have been high on the list of topics the candidates addressed. Nothing will have more influence on our future than climate change. Ignoring what is already happening will not make it stop or go away.
