The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service last week withdrew much-needed draft migratory bird protection rules the agency promised to propose two years ago. These rules are necessary to protect migratory birds from being killed by preventable hazards, including by window collisions, like October’s massive bird mortality event at McCormick Place in Chicago.
“It’s nonsensical that after two years of delay, the Fish and Wildlife Service withdrew these proposed protections with the threadbare excuse that even more delay is needed,” said Tara Zuardo, a senior advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity. “Yet despite the lack of regulations, this agency still has the power to levy fines against parties that cause the death of birds, and federal officials should use their authority to do so.”
Under the Trump administration, the Service finalized a rule that upended decades of enforcement of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. This radical and unlawful reinterpretation concluded the law did not prohibit the unintentional killing of migratory birds.
In response to successful litigation by the Center and allies, the Biden administration revoked this rule in 2021. The agency promised to issue regulations to address situations like what happened at McCormick Place, where infrastructure is known to cause bird deaths.
However, after two years of delay, the agency withdrew its own proposed regulations, claiming that it requires an indefinite amount of time to work on the rulemaking. This leaves billions of birds vulnerable to increasing threats across the landscape like collisions with windows and communication towers.

I couldn't get good pictures with my phone, but it was really cool to see so many different species, especially the Harlequin ducks and Long-tailed ducks. And a Harbor seal!
🦆
Pro tip for anyone: when you see people gathered watching birds (or any wild animal for that matter) from a distance, don't walk past them and scare all the resting birds away o_o. Like, this group of teens just walked right in front of someone's tripod telescope???

Day 36/100 #the100dayproject This week I went grocery shopping at my local Safeway and saw that the #redwingblackbirds are back in town. They take over the trees in the parking lot and are ever so loud which is what drew me to check them out the first time I encountered them after moving over here. The second thing is that flash of red. I was so used to seeing crows and ravens, fully blackbirds. Their flash of red really does catch you attention. They are beautiful, but obnoxious birds. I’m so glad I can’t hear them from my house. #illustratedlifejournal #illustratedjournal #illustration #illustrator #illustragram #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #backyardbirds #migratorybirds #birdwatching #birds #learningaboutthebirdsinmyneighbourhood https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqb0P8Orr4b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The northern shoveler is a medium-sized dabbling duck. Its most unique feature is its large shovel-shaped bill. During the breeding season, male shovelers have shiny green heads, a white body, rusty-red undersides, and black wings. . . #migratorybirds #migration #biodiversity #conservation #best_birds_of_ig #best_birds_of_world #eye_spy_birds #fauna #birdsofindia #birdsofindiansubcontinent #nature #coloursofnature #coloursofindia #incredibleindia #indianbirdsociety #india_undiscovered (at Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary, Haryana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co_HgV8hRe2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
