In Seattle, bird counts and species diversity are declining

Seattle Now

About this episode

Bird counts in Seattle have declined 21% between 2005 and 2023. That's according to a new study from Birds Connect Seattle, which also found that species diversity declined by 18% during that same time period. Conservation director Joshua Morris authored the report. We met up recently at Washington Park Arboretum to talk about what’s happening to Seattle’s bird populations.
