Lets hope the US Fish and Wildlife Service is more responsive to this status
assessment that it was to the status assessment of the Appalachian
subspecies (T. b. altus) back in the 1980s. No action was taken then and
the Appalachian subspecies is not functionally, and perhaps, totally,
extinct.

Subject: Status assessment of eastern subspecies of Bewick's Wren
Folks:
"The Arkansas Field Office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) recently contracted with the University of Arkansas to conduct a
Status Assessment of the Eastern and Appalachian subspecies of Bewick's Wren
(Thryomanes bewickii bewickii and T. b. altus)."
"The comments we receive will aid us in our decision of whether to move
forward
in the process of classifying these subspecies as candidates for protection
under the Endangered Species Act."
--------------
These are quoted sentences from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Suboffice
in
Arkansas. If you are familiar with the eastern subspecies, and are
interested
in more information, such as the 113-page document, e-mail me personally and
I
can forward the entire message and document attachment. They want comments
back
by April 19.
As you probably know, the eastern subspecies are essentially extirpated from
the Appalachians.
