Survey estimates much higher Alberta bird populations than thought

Albertascientists who have come up with a new way of counting them.

Bird populations across the continent have been in decline for years. A paper last fall estimated populations have dropped by three billion overall since the 1970s. Wells said Solymos's study proves the importance of large, undamaged stretches of forest to maintaining bird numbers.

I thought the science was settled on that one. 🐦

And people believe these STUDIES. Studies are not science! Same with the whole 'wearing masks for covid-19' debate. Studies show they work, real science says they don't. But silly people deny real science and promote studies that are false. LOL

Researchers not just in Alberta, also in the USA say there may be far more wacky/cacky/dirty/worthless/contemptible birds in the province than previous studies have shown!

must be those pesky pet cat laws that helped...

More magpies maybe

I was actually just thinking about that

My god. The ramifications of this if true. Bird healthcare could be stretched past the breaking point. The system has failed them. defund the ornithological society.

Understandable, they're hard to count when they keep flying around

Unfortunately, when you put laws in place that protect kids, it also means protecting them from other kids too, and there is no punishment for their behavior anymore. Actually, by the vague and contrived definition of this term (race with the suffix -ism) and depending upon how the questions are posed, 100% of the students would answer in the positive. Also, this is not a scientific poll. It's a misuse of statistical analysis, i.e., political.
