Neonics caused sparrows to drop a quarter of their body weight in three days. Sparrows eating pesticide laden seeds lost their ability to travel north. Affected sparrows lingered two to three days longer than normal in their migration. #birds #earth #pollinators

Bird biodiversity is declining. There is a 29% total bird decline since 1970. Birds are a critical part of the living tapestry. When birds decline, pest increases and pollination decreases. Pollination is responsible for our food supply. #Biodiversity #birdfs #earth

Dendrochronology is the scientific method of dating trees based on their rings. David Stahle, a professor a the University of Arkansas first visited the Black River area in the 1980s with friend. They estimated the cypress trees were around 1,800 years old.

Abandoned islands and vanishing communities is becoming the norm in Chesapeake Bay. Since the 1600s, based on some accounts, there are 400 drowned islands. Holland island is now just a few marshlands. Sharps island and Turtle Egg island are now submerged.

A massive heat wave lasting three years off the coast of Hawaii caught scientists off guard. Researchers are aware nowadays. They are expecting another massive 'blob' in the Pacific waters. The 'blob' causes Pacific water temperatures to rise 3 degrees above normal.

Audubon California took 140 million bird observations to track 604 North American bird species. They used the latest climate change models to predict how bird species will need to adapt to survive. Birds will be forced to relocate to find homes where they can survive.

Pollinators are experiencing a remarkable decline. Loss of habitat is one of the reasons. Developments wipe out pollinator habitat. When urban sprawl occurs, pollinator habitat shrinks. This shrinking creates islands of pollinator habitat.
