Hell yeah, that's good shit 😂 I'm obsessed with this graphic in Fred's OP too because only 1 of the 4 data points he is using to establish a baseline for IBWO flap rates is from a video that's actually confirmed to be an IBWO.

Building collisions kill millions of birds—like this Blackpoll Warbler—each year. Many of these deaths can be prevented. Urge your members of Congress to support the Bird-Safe Buildings Act—a bipartisan, common-sense solution to prevent bird collisions. bit.ly/42NS4qF
This has been a deeply sad day for all of us at the Wild Bird Fund. We hoped only to see Flaco hooting wildly from the top of our local water tower, never in the clinic. We are grateful to all who contacted us today and all who helped with his rescue. newsroom.wcs.org/News-Releases/…

It’s almost like a Eurasian Eagle-Owl should not be flying around NYC. Yet, lots of folks on Twitter thought it should be!! Feeling very very bad for this bird.

Not IBWO but as an enjoyer of all birding drama, this story has captured my attention. This is the best writeup about it that I've seen. gallusrostromegalus.tumblr.com/post/742167775…
“Jason Mann” writing a Manakin Nature Tours post eulogizing his own accomplishments, filling out a 10,000 species list on iGoTerra, posting some high credential resumes on LinkedIn, never speaking in public about birds until this moment, and then disappearing forever.
I also did a couple of fun bird stories: One about pelicans: nola.com/news/northshor… Another about the ivory-billed woodpecker: nola.com/news/environme…
@ibwo_discourse Fred just got muted at the end of a Zoom presentation by the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania. The presenter was very patient but Fred couldn't control himself.
If an apparently extinct bird calls in a forest, and there are people there to hear it- to record it, even- is it still extinct? In this open-access article for @Soc_Stud_Sci, I explore the sonic geographies of recent searches for Ivory-billed Woodpeckers journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03…

American Woodcocks have complete 360° visual coverage above the horizontal plane. Even at the horizontal, they only have a 1° blind spot behind their head (figure: Martin et al. 1994). The Mallard actually has them beat, with complete panoramic vision in the horizontal plane!

Driving through Eastern Arkansas today I took a break and spent a few hours searching for the mythical ivory-billed woodpecker @ibwo_discourse
Me: RIP Flaco Friend: who? Me: he loved saying that 😭😭
unfortunate that the nyt & guardian have picked up "building" as what killed flaco, depressing to see the tweets blaming "skyscrapers." in collisions, it's untreated glass that kills birds-- and the lowest few floors of glass usually do more damage than any glass higher up
Flaco may not see your tweets about how inappropriate it was for him to have been flying around in a city that kills millions of birds every year as a nonnative species, but your birder anti-captivity friends that like to harass owls for internet clout will 😔
@wildbirdfund For those who are mourning Flaco, please do more than lament his death on social media. Contact city council/legislators and advocate for bird friendly windows on all windows, non lethal methods for rodents, lights out for birds, etc.
I feel so sad over the loss of Flaco. Death by window is not what his freedom should have looked like. He should have never been free outside of his native range so I hope everyone that was campaigning to let Flaco live freely in the city understands their role in his death.
That poor owl. All of you on here who were against its recapture should be fucking shunned. Fucking scum.
Preventing window collisions is not complicated. Turn off unnecessary lights at night and apply markings to the outside of problem windows. If you live or work in a building that regularly kills birds, please say something! Talk to the management. There are many proven solutions.
@AlHendiify They should really take the knobs off the gas stove when it‘s not in use or the cat could accidentally turn them on while mauling the owner.
Building collisions kill millions of birds—like this Blackpoll Warbler—each year. Many of these deaths can be prevented. Urge your members of Congress to support the Bird-Safe Buildings Act—a bipartisan, common-sense solution to prevent bird collisions. bit.ly/42NS4qF
still on my ribbon snake nonsense. they’re pretty indifferent to being closely observed while hunting and eating which is unusual and neat
This has been a deeply sad day for all of us at the Wild Bird Fund. We hoped only to see Flaco hooting wildly from the top of our local water tower, never in the clinic. We are grateful to all who contacted us today and all who helped with his rescue. newsroom.wcs.org/News-Releases/…
the vandal who cut open his cage + all the FREE FLACO idiots who opposed his recapture should be utterly ashamed of themselves. they have blood on their hands now. afraid to see how much rat poison is in his blood when they do the autopsy.
We are saddened to report that Flaco, the Eurasian eagle owl discovered missing from @centralparkzoo after his exhibit was vandalized just over a year ago, is dead after an apparent collision with a building on West 89th Street in Manhattan. bit.ly/3I9o3b8
