@hood_naturalist Barking and growling raccoons and American Robins is my best guess.

This shouldn’t be an unpopular opinion. Just like we don’t let dogs free roam, we need to normalize not letting cats free roam, either. Better for the cats. Better for our environments.

I'm excited to share our new review paper in @ESAFrontiers showcasing how #CitizenScience programs around the world are advancing science, education & policy on the global issue of bird-window collisions!

@LAevolving The Ouachita (WASH-uh-tah) Mountains are incredible. This is where our family would camp, fish, boat, and hike growing up. Flipping stream rocks for salamanders and crawdads was good fun.

@CinTyLeeEarth @elonmusk SpaceX bought a very small piece of land on a public hwy surrounded by conservation lands. I doubt that viewing access was among the most important decision factors driving their site selection.

**NEW** eBird Trend maps for N. America - Thanks to >1 million citizen scientists we now have fine-scale maps of population trends for >500 bird species. Many are deeply sobering, but they also contain hope that we can act @Team_eBird @CornellBirds https://t.co/lCelGFHzqO

In addition to being “shy as a mouse,” what else does our mysterious bird of the week have in common with tiny rodents? Find out at https://t.co/7ogLR6FDKd

Birds are on the move and moving south. Did you know that their movements can be predicted and forecasted similarly to weather? Learn more about the tools available and get more info on how migration is looking in your neck of the woods.

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.
