@tobes You can Google it, but there was a huge study done. This is an excerpt from one article:

Researchers studied 529 bird species over the last half-century to compile the most comprehensive study ever done on North American birds, the journal said. Thanks to the decades of monitoring by researchers and bird enthusiasts across the continent — as well as weather radars — scientists had a huge amount of data to work with.

@NickNack, I may be totally wrong here, but I get the feeling that this poster is not very trusting of data or sources.

@suzyQ3 Yes, I got that impression, too. He/she apparently doesn't believe science.

Interesting because I've been struck by the large numbers of butterflies I've seen this year.

We had a such an amazing and wondrous influx of Painted Ladies, @pigletsmom , but yes, they are in decline.
