Science 365(6461). Using multiple and independent monitoring networks, we report major population losses across much of the North American avifauna, including in once common species and from nearly every biome. Integration of range-wide population trajectories and size estimates indicates a net loss approaching 3 billion birds, or 29% of 1970 abundance.

Decline of the North American Avifauna Notes -Species extinctions have defined the global Decline of the North American Avifauna Notes -Species extinctions have defined the global Three billion North American birds have vanished since 1970, surveys show. The short four pages of text (plus many more pages of citations, tables, and supporting evidence) identified a 29 percent decline in North American birds since 1970 using data assimilated from citizen science surveys and radar tracking. doi: 10.1126/science.aaw1313. whether the North American extinctions were due primarily to man or climatic changes of the late Pleistocene remains unanswered. Based on their use of range-wide population trajectories and size estimates, they found wide-spread population declines of birds indicating a net loss approaching 3 billion birds, or 29 percent of 1970 abundance. Species are grouped into native and introduced species, management groups (landbirds, shorebirds, waterbirds, waterfowl), major breeding biomes, and nonbreeding biomes [see data S1 in ( 18 ) for assignments and definitions of groups and biomes].
