Abstract
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published their
long-l,!waited second or revised Injurious Wildlife Proposal
in the February 24th issue of the Federal Register*.
The "low-risk" list of birds, as published in the
Watchbird (Feb 1975), has been modified to include
eight new species, while five have been deleted, bringing
the list to a total of 59 species. The Button Quail,
Coturnix Quail, Diamond Dove, Barbary or Ringnecked
Dove, Aurora Finch, Melba Finch, Orangewinged
Melba, and Cuckoo Weaver have been added.
Deletions from the list are the Laughing Jay Thrush,
Green Singing Finch, Hooded Siskin, Crimson Pileated
Finch, and the Black-crested Finch.
