In this Friday, July 25, 2014 photo, vegetation grows among trees burned by the Rim Fire, near Groveland, Calif. Nearly a year after the Rim Fire charred thousands of acres of forest in California's High Sierra, a debate rages over what to do with the dead trees, salvage the timber to pay for forest replanting and restoration or let nature take its course. Environmentalist say that the burned trees and new growth beneath them create vital habitat for dwindling bird such as spotted owls, and black-backed woodpeckers and other wildlife.

In this June 16, 2014 photo released by University of California, Davis, UC Davis staff researcher Robert Meese prepares to release a banded tricolored blackbird at Conaway Ranch in Yolo County, Calif. A blackbird species found mostly in the Central Valley of California has experienced a major decline in its population over the past several years due in part to farming practices, researchers say. The birds now numbers about 145,000 in the state, down from millions less than a century ago, a survey released Wednesday shows. Meese, who led the study, said Californians must act to reverse the decline. (AP Photo/UC Davis, Sylvia Wright)
