🔥🐦🌎🧪Can fire boost bird populations!? A new study found that population density of some #bird species grew rapidly in burned areas. While high-intensity megafires threaten birds, low to moderate intensity #prescribedburns may have benefits. Learn more: shorturl.at/coEC6 #GoodFire #FireEcology

A #BlackpollWarbler banded on the Farallones surprises birders 400 miles away in Los Angeles! Farallones vagrants are seldom resighted and some scientists think they are misorienting towards the Pacific with fatal consequences. This #bird defied the odds by making it safely back to the mainland! 🦉🌎🧪
