🔥 NEW: Ecologist Olivia Sanderfoot at #Cornell is building a new field she calls smoke #ecology, asking how #wildfire smoke affects birds even hundreds of kilometers from any flames. #Birds breathe roughly twice as much air as #humans per breath, using rigid lungs and air sacs, so smoke hits them harder. Sanderfoot is combining atmospheric #chemistry, satellite #data, and thousands of volunteer nest-box observers to track what birds do when #smoke arrives. 👉 https://www.npr.org/2026/10/06/nx-s1-5991854/wildfire-smoke-ecology-birds-wildlife-health #ecology #ornithology #climate #conservation #bluebirds #science #wildlife #nature #birding #research #animals

There was a small wildfire here a few months ago, probably caused by sparks from twigs that fell on a nearby power line. It burned out by itself, we didn't notice it even though it's less than a kilometre away from our house. #Polesia #fungi #wildfire
