When you see a dead bird below a power line your first thought is likely that it died from electrocution. This is a common conventional wisdom, but it turns out it's wrong.

A new Audubon Society report on birds and power transmission lines pushes for a clean energy grid, but warns the buildout could harm birds. Yet the report contends collaborative planning can create a symbiotic relationship between those pushing for clean energy and others seeking to protect bird species.

Idaho Matters takes a field trip with some bird experts to learn how to spot all kinds of birds in Southern Idaho.

The warming climate has led to some subtle changes in the size and wings of birds — some faster than others, according to new analysis from researchers at the University of Michigan.

With many bird populations in decline, two recent studies out of Colorado State University used weather radar to track the movements of swallows and martins to gain clues into how climate change and roost size affect their roosting habits.

Researchers now link the death of thousands of birds migrating across New Mexico in 2020 to extreme temperature and climate conditions. The event inspired a partnership between Los Alamos National Laboratory and New Mexico State University to study "disaster ecology."

The National Audubon Society kicked off its annual bird count Wednesday — a program that helps experts understand how birds respond to climate change.

The Ruth Melichar Center in Boise gives more than 3,000 birds a second chance each year.
