Kirtland's Warbler! ABC's Aditi Desai had the good fortune of filming this rare bird in Michigan earlier this month. The species' population has increased five-fold since the early 1950s, and it recently became a candidate for delisting from the Endangered Species Act.

Our handsome #birdoftheweek is the Gray-bellied Comet, found only in Peru. ABC and our partner ECOAN - Asociacion Ecosistemas Andinos are considering the creation of a new reserve for this endangered species near Cajamarca, a city in Peru's northern highlands where this bird is regularly spotted.

So many bird species successfully raise only one offspring. Humans are over-populating the earth to the detriment of wildlife so maybe we should consider having and raising one human offspring. 🧐
They should be protected all the time
They should be protectef

Today, a coalition of national environmental groups, including American Bird Conservancy, Center for Biological Diversity, Defenders of Wildlife, National Audubon Society, National Wildlife Federation, and the Natural Resources Defense Council, filed litigation challenging the current Administration’s move to eliminate longstanding protections for waterfowl, raptors, and songbirds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). Read our release: abcbirds.org/article/lawsuits-seek-to-restore-protections-for-migratory-birds/
As our President Mike Parr said, “The new policy makes it much harder to protect birds from major bird traps — threats like oil pits, wind turbines, and communication towers in bird migration hotspots. Leaving these threats unattended is like leaving manhole covers off along the sidewalk during rush hour — it’s negligent, irresponsible, and guaranteed to cause harm.”
