The report evaluates the conservation status of all native North American bird species across all major habitats—nine key ecosystems. It is based on the first-ever conservation vulnerability assessment for all 1,154 native bird species that occur in Canada, the continental U.S., and Mexico, and reflects a collaboration between experts from all three countries. The overall conservation status of each species takes into account its population trend, population size, extent of breeding and nonbreeding ranges, and severity of threats to populations.
Manuscript: Bird-Feeding Impact on Health of Wild BirdsDr. David Horn, Millikin University, has done extensive research on wild bird feeding. In his most recent study, partially funded by the WBFI Research Foundation, David investigated the impact that bird-feeding has on wild birds from a scientific perspective. This research has now been published in a new manuscript available for you to download at this link.
