I was asked to forward this to the TN bird list from Brainard Palmer-Ball  
in Kentucky.
Thank you for your time on this issue.

Please take time to read thru the following appeal for support for the most 
 significant funding that the state of Kentucky receives for NONGAME 
wildlife  from the federal government. It is called the State & Tribal Wildlife 
Grant  (STWG). Kentucky has been receiving somewhere around $800,000 a year 
since its  inception, and that $800K is matched 50:50 to provide $160K of 
funding for  nongame wildlife in our state each year.


The recently proposed FY  2011 budget has called for a COMPLETE zeroing out 
of the funding for this  program across the entire country.  So if you are 
resident of a state  outside of Kentucky, YOUR state's STWG budget will also 
be zeroed out, so please  make an appeal to your Congressmen as well.



NOTE that the timing  is quite critical and that calls need to be made 
IMMEDIATELY. All of the recent  work you may have read or heard about in the 
state of Kentucky dealing with  Peregrine Falcons, Barn Owls, and songbirds (as 
well as many other species of  birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals) 
has been at least partially funded by  STWG. WE NEED THIS FUNDING SOURCE!!!!
