These tiny creatures are losing their battle to survive.
The Rufous hummingbird lost two-thirds of its population since 1970, according to the 2022 State of the Birds report.
These tiny creatures are one of 70 bird species on the “Tipping Point” list that will lose another fifty percent of their populations in the same time frame if conservation doesn’t improve.

An even handed article on the current DePalma paper about a site that may have captured the aftermath of the asteroid impact that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs. That site is probably very interesting, geologically, but in terms of dinosaur fossils, we have to wait for future studies and results first.
