Bird populations are declining rapidly in the U.S., including 22 species that live in or pass through Massachusetts, according to a report released Wednesday.
The U.S. State of the Birds 2022 report introduces a “tipping point list,” identifying 70 species at risk of becoming endangered. These species have already declined by at least 50% and could lose another half of their population in the next 50 years, according to researchers.
