Fowl trends for Canadian birds
Almost half of Canada’s bird species are in a downward slide. Overall, Canadian breeding bird populations have dropped 12% since the 1970s, according to a report released today. The State of Canada’s Birds (2012) is the first comprehensive summary of the health of bird populations across Canada. The report carries both good and bad news, with some populations rebounding after devastating slumps and others continuing on a steep downward trajectory. It also stresses how what goes on in one country affects bird populations in others.
