If it seems like there are fewer birds around, it's not your imagination. The State of the Birds report is a status assessment of the health of the nation’s bird populations by scientists from U.S. bird conservation groups. And the 2025 edition of it showed sobering evidence that America’s birds continue to decline across the board. In the newest episode of our Sounds Wild podcast, host Mike Stark talks to Jeff Walters from the American Ornithological Society about this report and what can be done about the state of our birds. Listen to the latest episode on our website (or find it on Apple or Spotify). New episodes will be shared each week, so please stay tuned! [Video description: Spoken audio with captions plays.
