At first Adam Smith couldn’t believe his calculations. Then it sank in.

Like many of you, birds are very special to me. I connect with them like I don’t any other living creature, save my wife and kids. I photograph them. I’ve covered my body in nothing but bird tattoos.

To see that a THIRD of them have disappeared is like a knife to the heart.

    There was some German study a few years back that found that the insect biomass in the air had declined by 75% in the span of a decade. As someone else mentioned, the windshield splatter effect speaks to that issue being much wider spread.

    With a major food source gone on top of the pressures of climate change itself, that’s not going to look great for birds.
