In North America, widespread declines, even in common species, are now being reported, says Winnipeg-based avian biologist Dr. Christian Artuso, who works for Birds Studies Canada -- a not-for-profit organization designed to "advance the understanding, appreciation, and conservation of wild birds and their habitats" in Canada and elsewhere.
