Not seeing another thread on this yet so I'll start one.
With great fanfare, a new paper was published yesterday in Science estimating that overall abundance of North American birds is 3 billion fewer than in 1970. Here's a synopsis. NPR's reporting on the story here. Here's a companion website to the paper, with suggestions for things folks can do to help native birds.
This seems to be getting peoples' attention because the number is so jarring, but to ecologists and birders it is not surprising at all. It's still depressing as heck, but it's not surprising.
I'm not an author on this paper, but I'm happy to discuss it, review the science behind it, etc.
