Melvin Mosley+FollowBird Comebacks You Won’t BelieveImagine spotting a five-foot-tall whooping crane or hearing the rare Kirtland’s warbler sing—both birds were nearly wiped out, but now they’re making epic comebacks! Whooping cranes soared from just 21 to over 800, and Kirtland’s warblers are off the endangered list with 2,000+ pairs. It’s proof that with relentless effort, even the rarest birds can bounce back. But here’s the catch: their survival still depends on us. Would you fight to save a species? #Science #WildlifeWin #BirdConservation10Share
James Brady+FollowChicago’s bird hero is changing city skylinesThousands of birds crash into Chicago’s glassy buildings every year, but thanks to Dave Willard’s decades of dedication, their stories don’t end there. Since the late ’70s, Willard has transformed tragic losses into one of the world’s most valuable scientific collections, helping spark changes like bird-friendly building designs and citywide Lights Out programs. His work proves that even small, behind-the-scenes efforts can drive real change for wildlife and our city. How do you think we can make urban spaces safer for birds—and what other hidden heroes deserve a spotlight? #Science #Chicago #BirdConservation00Share
