"The best April fools joke is the ones birders played on ourselves" "Red-headed woodpeckers:" Next to a small bird with a long, sharp beak, a black-and-white body and a red head.

"The results are astonishingly clear. On rewilded land, biodiversity surged across the board, with the number of bird species up 261%. The variety of bumblebee and butterfly species more than doubled, their abundance increased over 10x."
