Tree stands account for six times as many deaths as guns

"Tree stands may now pose a greater danger to hunters than guns, although hunters have reduced the number of shooting incidents each year for the last five. The state Department of Environmental Conservation released its annual evaluation of hunter injuries, deaths and incidents for last year, and in keeping with a trend, the number of people injured while hunting is considerably lower than historical levels, although there were more incidents in 2017 than in 2016. And while shooting-related incidents are showing a downward trend, the number of people getting hurt or killed due to tree stand incidents may be on the rise."

Are flamingos returning to Florida? — ScienceDaily

"Flamingos are a Florida cultural icon, and sightings in the state have been on the rise in recent decades. However, whether they're truly native to the US or only arrive via escape from captivity has long been subject to debate, making developing a plan for managing Florida's flamingo population challenging. A new study reviews the evidence and provides a fresh argument that the birds should be considered part of the Sunshine State's native fauna."
