These birds find a tree 40 or so miles from the seashore and lay there egg
on top of a limb, no nest. Takes a fair sized tree limb for that. .
When
the egg hatches they fly back and forth over 40 miles of trees bringing
junior food. There few trees that big left and most are in the middle of
primo steelhead / salmon country.

The lyrics have changed a bit, but it's the same old tune we've been hearing
for centuries. Substitute "Carolina Parakeet", "Passenger Pigeon", "Great
Auk", "Heath Hen", or "Ivory-Billed Woodpecker" for "Marbled Murrelet" and
no one will need to write the rest of the story........it's already been
printed.
