Toronto Star: he bad news keeps coming for bobolinks, barn swallows and olive-sided flycatchers, among other Canadian bird species all but annihilated in recent decades. According to a new report, some domestic wildfowl populations have declined by as much as 80 to 90 per cent over the past 20 years. And while the main culprits are climate change and dirty agriculture, the federal and Ontario governments seem set on complicity. The Birdlife International study revealed that one in eight bird species worldwide...

Washington Post: At the Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge, the tiny bodies of Arctic tern chicks have piled up. Over the past few years, biologists have counted thousands that starved to death because the herring their parents feed them have vanished. Puffins are also having trouble feeding their chicks, which weigh less than previous broods.
