Like many of you, birds are very special to me. I connect with them like I don’t any other living creature, save my wife and kids. I photograph them. I’ve covered my body in nothing but bird tattoos.
To see that a THIRD of them have disappeared is like a knife to the heart.
Aside from the endangerment of honey bees, this is the next best indicator of climate change and the impact of human destruction of vital environments for healthy support of animal species. I keep a small hive in my back yard, and have planted hummingbird attracting flowers to make a little haven in my own space. Not significant in the grand scheme of all the ones missing I know, but at least an effort on a tiny level to help sustain life around me. Beauty as added bonus 😊
