Hi all<br>
Just listening to Bill Casey interview on CBC and my ears perked up at a co=
uple of things he said. First it is home to 300 species of birds. Surely th=
is is a political exaggeration. He also stated that the Leach&#39;s Storm-P=
etrel is endangered or something to that effect. In fact, Birdlife Internat=
ional has it in the category of least concern.<br>
Regardless it would be nice to have the isle preserved. I know some people =
in this forum have been there so maybe a comment or two about it might be i=
nteresting.<br>
Cheers<br>
