OFO member Ivor Williams writes:

I’ve been hard at work on an iPhone app for ONTBIRDS, and am pleased to announce that it’s now ready for download from the iTunes App Store. This free app, called iONTBIRDS, is powered by this mailing list combined with a database of known birding hotspots. With iONTBIRDS, you can:

• keep up to date with ONTBIRDS postings, at home or in the field
• search current postings by keyword
• view a map of the posting location
• find the way there from your current location
• post from the field, showing exactly where you are

Good birding!!

State of the Birds 2010
Climate Change ReportTop

From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:

In this 2010 State of the Birds report, we consider one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time, climate change. How will the impacts of climate change influence our bird populations and their habitats? Accelerated climate change as a result of human activities is altering the natural world as we know it, diminishing the quality of our environment. This report calls attention to the collective efforts needed to protect nature’s resources for the benefit of people and wildlife.

Their website contains an online version of the report.
