So you want to try birdwatching, or as some of us call it, birding. Something about our feathered friends has grabbed your attention. A great-horned owl, perhaps, hooting outside your window after dusk. Or an American robin slurping worms from your lawn. Maybe you spied a group of birdwatchers at the park across the street, […]

Wildlife conservation actions tend to be focused in specific locations because the data that inform them also tend to be highly localized. But what if we could visualize where a species, or several, will be at any given time of the year, across vast — even continental — scales? An artificial intelligence model developed by […]

Whole genome sequencing of North American song sparrows has revealed the genetic underpinnings for a stunning range of body sizes found throughout the bird's westernmost range-an adaptation that may make the birds more resilient to climate change.

<p>Scientists have unlocked the genetic basis underlying the remarkable variation in body size observed in song sparrows, one of North America’s most familiar and beloved songbirds. This discovery also provides insights into this species’ capacity to adapt to the challenges of climate change. The study, published today in <em>Nature Communications, </em>used genomic sequencing to successfully pinpoint eight genetic variants, or DNA mutation...

When people say “as the crow flies,” I imagine the Gorge from above: Wrinkled hills and wooded valleys, a patchwork of sagebrush and fields, the Big River winding through it
