Have you ever seen this little blue bird?

Most people have not, yet they are supposed to be here in western NC in our summer months. The bird in question is the Cerulean Warbler, and it’s on the Audubon watch list for extinction.
The Cerulean Warbler winters in the areas of South America that grows some of the wonderful coffees that we enjoy. Unfortunately, the demand for these coffees has caused loss of habitat for the birds.
The good news is that there is a very easy solution. Ask for shade grown coffee. That’s all you have to do to save an entire species. You can do that, right?
