    Our recent climate report shows that 389 bird species are vulnerable to extinction because of climate change. The good news is that if we take action now, we can improve the chances for 76% of those species. https://bit.ly/39itwi8 #BirdsTellUs https://twitter.com/audubonsociety/status/1645910366696685569/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FtdyvS9WIAElCsJ.jpg:large View the full article

    During spring migration, male Common Yellowthroats arrive at their breeding grounds before the females. They quickly begin defending territories and will fight more aggressively when females arrive.

    When they're nestlings, Belted Kingfishers have acidic stomachs that help them digest bones, fish scales, and arthropod shells. But their stomach chemistry changes by the time they leave the nest, and they begin regurgitating pellets, similar to owls. https://bit.ly/3q0aUJ4 https://twitter.com/audubonsociety/status/1645188358778363904/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FtTiE53WAAATgHF.jpg:large View the full article
