<DIV>The Mayor is not perfect when it comes to wildlife (the cougar shooting
incident fills me with absolute fury), but he is much better than
most municipal leaders when it comes to establishing a wildlife agenda and
implementing it; planning and planting for wildlife especially birds;
and making the city a much safer place for birds with regard to collision
issues. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will say that getting the award will hopefully be thought of by
conservationists (and the mayor himself) as merely a starting point
for discussions about the many ways he can improve the situation for birds
in Chicago even more. In other words, that Mr. Daley doesn't become content
about sitting on his laurels.</DIV>
