North American bird populations are shrinking most rapidly in the very areas where they are still most abundant, according to a 2025 study in Science.
The findings reveal both urgent threats and potential opportunities for targeted conservation and recovery. https://scim.ag/4qwOLyM #NationalBirdDay

North American bird declines are greatest where species are most abundant
Efforts to address declines of North American birds have been constrained by limited availability of fine-scale information about population change. By using participatory science data from eBird, we ...

Got some footage of the @kingtides.bsky.social overtopping the outer berm at Santa Venetia Marsh. There is a known population of @thesaltymouse.bsky.social here. Winter #KingTides are likely the deadliest time of the year for SMHM. Luckily the weather was pretty mild during these tides.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

Reclamation on Thursday updated the long-term operations plan for the Central Valley Project to allow increased exports from the Delta, a move that potentially shifts more of the water burden onto the state and threatens the Delta’s ecosystem and water quality #cawater www.sacbee.com/news/politic...
New federal plan for Delta water pumping conflicts with California requirements
Federal plan to boost Delta exports could shift burden to California and worsen conditions for already struggling salmon populations.
