A Simple Technology Could Help Stop Birds From Colliding With Power Lines

During spring migration, more than half a million Sandhill Cranes visit the shores of Nebraska’s Platte River, a critical stopover where the species has roosted for thousands of years. But for some unlucky birds, this ancient place of respite is a modern deathtrap. Every year, dozens to many hundreds of cranes suffer deadly collisions with two electrical transmission lines that cross the river at Audubon’s Rowe Sanctuary. Now a biologist has landed on a new method that seems to slash crane fata…

Margaret Atwood Insists Birds Matter to Everyone—Whether They Reali...

Margaret Atwood is on message. Not, mind you, about The Testaments, the acclaimed new book she’s promoting, a sequel to her most famous novel and Emmy award–winning TV series The Handmaid’s Tale. In fact, Atwood does not seem all that interested in speaking about her writing, herself, or even her considerable passion for birding.

The McCown’s Longspur Is No More, but the Debate Over Bird Names Co...

As Confederate statues and flags continued to come down around the country this year, North America’s most important ornithology organization announced it would remove the bird world’s own verbal monument to that history. The McCown’s Longspur—a bird named after John P. McCown, an amateur avian collector who fought to defend slavery as a Confederate general and went to war against native tribes—is now named the Thick-billed Longspur. That decision, one year after the American Ornithological Soc…

These Are the Seabirds Most Vulnerable to Plastic Pollution

Plastic pollution wasn’t discovered floating mid-ocean, far from any shore, until 1971. Today it’s ubiquitous in the lives of seabirds and other marine life. “There isn’t really anywhere left in the ocean that doesn’t have plastic that these birds can find,” says BirdLife International seabird science officer Bethany Clark. According to a 2016 projection, marine plastic could outweigh all the ocean’s fish within decades without action to contain its production and accumulation. Some seabirds, h…
