The 2025 State of the Birds report, produced by the U.S. North American Bird Conservation Initiative Committee in March, found a third of all American bird species — 229 — are at what researchers call a “tipping point,” meaning they are showing long-term declines and, in some cases, have “perilously low populations.”⁠ ⁠ The list of declining species includes the lark bunting, Colorado’s state bird, which has seen its population drop by 38% in the last 11 years, according to eBird, an online database that tracks bird populations in the United States.⁠ ⁠ Over the next two to three weeks, millions of birds will fly through the state’s night skies as they migrate north for the summer. But scientists and bird watchers say humans can do things to help their migratory visitors.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in our bio to learn more. ⁠ ⁠ 📝: Noelle Phillips, The Denver Post ⁠ 📷: Andy Cross, The Denver Post // akakross⁠ ⁠ #colorado #birds #birding #wildlife #birdsofinstagram #birdphotography #birdwatching...
