Landowners, working with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, have trapping programs underway in several parts of the state. In the Hill Country, the economics of wildlife, primarily deer, has resulted in many more landowners managing for deer, for populations. Better deer habitat is good vireo habitat.
Landowners are the key.
They're the ones whose economies are tied to the land. That's only going to enhance the condition of habitat. The other key is handling parasitism, so we can delist or downlist these birds. We're getting activities out there working in this way and landowners are taking the lead. We know that we'll have a new president, a new administration, next January.
