Audubon Mid-Atlantic has summarized some of the most common threats that buildings pose to birds and how you can mitigate them. bit.ly/3AGC2VL

A concerning fact: North Carolina is losing forests in urban and suburban areas at a faster rate than anywhere else. That’s why Audubon North Carolina, alongside local chapters and partners, is launching an urban forestry program that aims to protect trees in North Carolina’s cities and advocate for bird-friendly, density-focused development instead of sprawl to help reduce habitat destruction and fragmentation. bit.ly/3ySarAi

Baby birds are a thrill to watch in the warmer months, and putting up nest boxes at home can give you a front row seat for the action. But in the summer, extreme heat can turn those boxes into death traps for eggs and nestlings. Luckily, there are steps you can take to protect breeding birds and their young, from improving airflow to reflecting bright sunlight. While this year’s nesting season is winding down, it’s never too early to start planning for next year. Time to buy some white paint! bit.ly/3Mdjpv0

Gregarious and playful, the ʻAlalā, is a very special species of crow. Native to Hawaii, they are one of only two crows known to make and use tools—however, as things stand, you don’t have a great chance of seeing them in their native range. They are already extinct in the wild and only survive in captivity. Past attempts to create a new wild population have failed, but in a new bid to save them, now conservationists are trying something new.
