In 1990, an Army Corps engineer warned that deepening the Mississippi for ships would trigger a drinking water crisis in Louisiana.
33 years later, he says the Corps' dredging - more than drought - brought salt water to New Orleans’ doorstep nola.com/news/environme…

Window collisions are preventable, and contrary to popular belief, they are not a skyscraper problem. Birds collide on lower floors where trees and foliage are reflected in the glass. If birds are hitting your windows, please mark them!

There was a big movement of woodpeckers last night, and the yellow-bellied sapsuckers have arrived in force. We've received 7 so far today, among our 25 window-collision victims. It's always hard to see these beautiful birds hurt and killed so needlessly.

Ahem @nytimes @nytimesbusiness REWRITE this headline. How can you have decades of climate reporting confirming fossil fuel consumption = ongoing global collapse of livelihoods & ecosystems & promulgate false narrative of “growth.” Get someone new on this beat like @amywestervelt

This magnolia warbler was also among the lucky, if unhappy, few yesterday. If you see a window-struck bird stunned or lying on the sidewalk, you have been chosen to help! Please place the bird in a paper bag (ideally) and bring it to WBF or a rehabber near you.
