A bipartisan group of lawmakers urged the Trump administration to scrap plans to kill more than 450,000 invasive barred owls in West Coast forests in coming decades .

The plan is part of efforts to stop the birds from crowding out a smaller type of owl that's facing potential extinction.

The 19 lawmakers — led by Republican Rep. Troy Nehls , a Texas conservative, and Democrat Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove — claimed the killings would be “grossly expensive” and cost $ 3,000 per bird.
