About Bird Science
Bird Science publishes peer-reviewed science journalism on bird ecology, migration science, raptor biology, avian conservation. Every article is written by Dr. Lars Eriksson (PhD Ornithology, Uppsala University / BirdLife International), drawing on primary scientific literature, institutional data, and field research expertise. Our mission: rigorous science, accessible to everyone.
We collaborate with leading research institutions including BirdLife International · IUCN SSC · Cornell Lab of Ornithology · Wetlands International to ensure our coverage reflects the current state of scientific knowledge.
