To save the Azores Bullfinch, Portuguese scientists considered captive breeding. They also tried augmenting the songbird’s diet with feeders. But for this endemic bird so closely tied to its habitat, the key, they realized, was restoring native vegetation. https://t.co/dpQAY8RZtJ

Even a bomber snow season is not going to end the drought. We need to keep the pedal to the floor on reforming #CORiver management. While winter storms are good for water supplies, there is no guarantee it will be sustained or consistent. #BirdsNeedWater https://t.co/seFhzj4zrU

#PhotoOfTheDay A genetic mutation causes the feathers to be yellow instead of red on this Northern Cardinal. Amber Favorite took this photograph in the United States, where there are supposedly only 15 of them in the US. This bird is commonly mistaken for the Yellow Cardinal of South America, which is much less rare. * * * #BirdsOfInstagram #Birding #BirdingCommunity #BirdLovers #Bird_Captures #BirdPhotography #BirdingPhotography #WildlifePhotography #BirdFreaks #Birdstagram #BirdLife #FeatheredFriends #BirdWatching #BirdWatchingMagazine #BW_Magazine #BirdWatcher #BirdOfTheDay #Wildlife #InstaBirds #CoolBirds

If you are a landowner or manager interested in improving habitat for birds and other wildlife, winter is a particularly great time to try new #BirdFriendly management activities, since it’s outside the nesting season. @AudubonNY https://t.co/kV7mgctlgK

A Eurasian Hoopoe finding some grub. I cut a full day of guided birding short because I wanted to try to photograph the hotel hoopoes. I had noticed a couple of the birds in the front lawn of the hotel, so I hoped they would be there on this day. Luckily, I got some good looks at them! - - - #eurasianhoopoe #hoopoe #egypt #your_best_birds #best_birds_of_ig #bird_brilliance #birds_private #planetbirds #africanbirds #igbirds #birding #birdnerd #birdwatching #birdwatcher #birdphotography #pocket_birds #birdsofinstagram #naturelovers #nutsaboutbirds #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #featheredfriends #welovebirds #nikond500 #nikon500mmf56epf #nikonnature #eye_spy_birds #birdbrilliance #yourbestbirds #audubonsociety

Coastal stewardship is all about preventing human disturbance to coastal birds & ensuring they have enough space to rest, refuel, and raise their young. See how @AudubonSC’s team fared in 2022—spoiler alert: they did some incredible work this past season! https://t.co/SofI6FRZ7x

A few years ago, ornithologist Javier Caletrío—@birdingclimate—had a wakeup call. He realized flying & driving to see birds was contributing to climate change & harming the birds he loved. So he decided to commit to low-carbon birding. Read how he did it. https://t.co/G5hnfBgMP1
