2025 Aussie Bird Count 20-26 October
You don’t need to be a bird nerd to take part in the Aussie Bird Count. All you need is 20 minutes, a spot to birdwatch (backyard, park bench, schoolyard or balcony) and a bit of curiosity.

SARS‑CoV‑2 (COVID-19) (@sarscov2covid19)
Just spoke with my CDC sources. They said RFK Jr. has instructed officials in California to hide tuberculosis cases after seven people tested positive. He’s doing the same with bird flu and other emerging infectious diseases. Before a virus spreads, concealment spreads first. I report on bird flu, COVID-19, tuberculosis, and other emerging threats straight from the frontline. I need your support. Please subscribe to my Substack, follow my page and help spread the truth.

Peatland Rewilding: Finnish Community Turns Abandoned Mine into Vibrant Bird Sanctuary | Happy Eco News
Finland's peatland rewilding project transforms former mining wasteland into a wildlife sanctuary, home to over 190 bird species. A local community action project creates a carbon-storing wetland ecosystem within one year.

Tropical bird numbers plummet due to more days of extreme heat, study finds
Tropical bird populations are crashing as temperatures soar. That’s according to a new study that found abundances of tropical birds were 25-38% lower than they would be without human-driven climate change and the rising temperatures it has caused. This temperature impact on birds is greater than declines attributed to deforestation. “It’s a staggering decrease. Birds […]

My project that I completed yesterday. An old patio umbrella base, a fence post from a big box store, two old wall brackets for flower baskets, a couple of bird feeders that were on sale at CanTire, and a repurposed squirrel baffle. About $100 in total cost, not including the black oil seed. It's positioned right outside our sunroom for bifd watching, by us and our cat Casper.
