Lulu Miller

That he died protecting us.

You know, it's only one species.

Well, then it's going to be another species and another species and another species.

Then I ask the mom.

What can I say?

And then, if ever there was a sign to just turn off the darn mic.

There she goes again.

The power goes out.

Okay, Lulu from 2025 here again.

Since I reported this story in 2010, a couple things have changed for that little bird.

The biggest thing is that in 2019, the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service officially removed the Kirtland's warbler from the endangered species list.

That meant the bird had surpassed recovery goals.

Since then, the population has begun to decline again, but the Michigan Department of Natural Resources say they feel confident they have the tools and resources to stabilize the population.

And one more thing.

A few years back, I called up Robert Swiderski just to check in and ask how everyone was doing.

And he said that his mom, Florence, I remember this.

He said, she ain't cooking, but she's still kicking.

At that point, she was 92.

Since then, she has passed away.
