Some studies reveal that warmer oceans make albatross pairs—typically the poster children for loyalty in the bird world—more likely to “divorce,” adding to the list of ways climate change can put the future of these birds in jeopardy. #BirdsTellUs https://t.co/n9FMeYXkOe

You can play a role in wildlife conservation, especially for pollinators! Many pollinators, like this monarch caterpillar, can benefit from small green spaces with native plants like milkweed.

Allen's hummingbird breeds exclusively along the coast of CA and OR. During their mating display, they use the quick beating of their wings to create a loud trill.
