Tragic & a portent, unless we (again) become mindful about environment and both human & nonhuman nature. The European starlings are those little guys scampering all over NYC & area in parks & on streets alongside pigeons. Seems -pardon the metaphor - like a canary in a coal mine., as are the coral in the sea.

Check out this short summary on the state of #birds which were abundant until recently.

There are 600 million fewer birds in Europe than 40 years ago.
