What's so alarming?

A review of "The Secret Blackbird: The Alarming Case of the Missing Birds" 

This book is currently unavailable. I therefore haven't seen it. But, seriously, what's so alarming about some cowbird or meadowlark going missing somewhere? They had their evolutionary chance, and they blew it. As Richard Dawkins would no doubt say: Well, that's just tough. Of course, I'm assuming the "secret blackbird" in the book's title is a so-called New World blackbird (Icteridae). If it turns out to be a sturdy, healthy, brilliant Common Blackbird, a veritable wonder of evolutionary fitness, I'M GOING TO DEMAND ACTION FROM THE PROPER AUTHORITIES.

You see, I'm a liberal.
