I took a badly needed birding break, today, at the Marine Nature Study Area. What does the future hold for these guys? Even under the most optimistic scenario for climate change, I believe ~30% of our species are predicted to go extinct by the end of the century. And of course, climate change goes hand in hand with other anthropogenic factors, none of which have halted, but which will certainly accelerate under the current regime. This is where Christian Cooper's observation that environmental and social justice must march in tandem comes in. Please see captions for id's.
