The press release

It does however say "The Service seeks information, data, and comments from the public regarding this proposal to remove these 23 species from the ESA and declare them extinct." so I imagine the woodpecker nuts will be onto them with as much gusto as they are here.

Well-known member.....apparently so ;)
That list from Hawaii....so depressing. What a waste of some truly fantastic birds
Indeed. The most dismal of lists.

I must say it's encouraging how many more birds (like Kirtland's Warbler and California Condor) could be on the list, but aren't due to conservation efforts that pulled the populations back from the edge. We need to continue to keep the rest of our species as far from the edge as possible.

I wonder that the Eskimo curlew is not mentioned.

Although both species will probably require near constant management to keep them stable. For instance, Kirtland's is very dependent upon cowbird removal from there nesting areas, a species that has invaded there habitat thanks to human alteration of the environment.

Nearly all of eastern North America's freshwater mussel species are either extinct or Critically Endangered. Depending on the species it is either attributed to pollution or the invasive Dreissena mussels.
