In April, Audubon and Point Blue Conservation Science completed the 2024 Intermountain West Shorebird Surveys—a massive collaboration of over 300 participants at 200+ wetland sites across 11 states. Surveyors worked together to map the distribution and abundance of shorebirds as they flew north along the Pacific Flyway—helping to better inform conservation efforts and the people who organize them. bit.ly/46Ap8V8

To better understand the nesting habits of Wood Storks and Roseate Spoonbills, biologists at Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary and Audubon Everglades Science Center are getting a bird’s eye view—conducting aerial surveys from planes and helicopters. These surveys are critical for understanding the nesting effort and success for birds as avian indicators of Everglades health. bit.ly/4bWpUN8

Here’s an easy opportunity for you to act now and help birds. If California’s Chuckwalla National Monument is designated, it’ll help preserve the desert region's rich biodiversity, honor Tribal heritage, expand access to nature, boost the local economy, and protect the places that people and birds need to thrive. Urge U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to help advance its designation. bit.ly/3y8KVXf

Breeding colonies of wading birds like Wood Storks and Roseate Spoonbills rely on the Everglades for survival—but over a century ago, their populations were decimated from the plume trades. “What once was the fight to end the plume trade in the Everglades is now the fight to restore America’s Everglades.” Julie Hill-Gabriel, Audubon’s vice president of water and coastal conservation, spoke with the @evergladesfoundation about the crucial role our organizations have played in protecting this one-of-a-kind ecosystem and recovering the birds’ populations.

In a big win for birds and people, Vermont has pledged to reduce the use of neonic pesticides, which threaten the health of migrating songbirds and other wildlife. Read about this and two other significant policy wins recently made in the Green Mountain State: bit.ly/3ybySs8

We know lots about the migratory patterns of Royal Terns. From their South American wintering grounds they fly north up the Pacific and Atlantic Coasts to their coastal nesting grounds in the United States. Still, there’s still lots to learn about where they go and what resources they need once they make it to their breeding grounds. To better understand where Royal Terns nesting along the Cape Fear River go to feed, Audubon North Carolina has partnered with Larid Research and Conservation. Together, they’re banding breeding birds with GPS transmitters and collecting fecal samples to collect data to inform tern management and conservation plans. https://lnkd.in/eU-5pi9U

Joined by Tribal leaders, elected officials, and California residents, Audubon California supported the proposed Chuckwalla National Monument at a recent listening session held by the U.S. Department of the Interior. If designated, the Chuckwalla National Monument will protect 627,000 acres of California desert that people and birds need to thrive.
