That's not the usual topic of a blog. Failure is not something either individuals or organizations admit to. But, if we're not failing sometime, we're probably dead or not really honest with ourselves.

We usually think of champions as winners of athletic contests but another definition kicks off this blog. Champion can also mean a person who is a determined, dedicated, competent, and untiring advocate and protector of a cause or people or, in the case at hand, of birds, bugs, and their homes. We have some such champions in our midst and they deserve our thanks.

Thanks to all of you who participated in the DNR's Spring Conservation Congress Hearing and Expressions of Opinion (the DNR and Conservation Congress doesn't like to call the voting voting). With the help of conservation organizations such as Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance and folks like you, we might have made some progress on some important issues.
