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.

Poetry, birds, and National Parks? A match made in heaven—and the centerpiece of the U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón’s signature project titled You Are Here, which comprises a new anthology of nature poems and installations of poetry as public art in national parks across the country. We’re excited to share that we’ll be chatting with Ada on Tue July 23 at 1pm ET! Join us to hear all about her new anthology and project with our National Parks, her poetic muses, love of birds, and much more. Tune in next Tuesday on Instagram Live—we’ll see you there!

Audubon is excited to announce that we’ve created, in partnership with BirdLife International, Calidris, Instituto Humboldt, and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, a new tool called Alas Seguras (Safe Wings). This decision support system helps users create custom maps of important places for migratory birds—and areas where investments in bird conservation can benefit ecosystems and people. While only currently rolled out in Colombia, the project will soon expand to other countries to help conservationists identify broad-scale priority landscapes for migratory birds and inform on-the-ground conservation actions. bit.ly/4cXzjoI

Sugaring—producing maple syrup—is a historic tradition in the forests of upstate New York. Maple syrup can be a model for sustainably produced food that also creates habitat for birds and other wildlife. This National Forest Week, meet some of the women sugaring and managing their maple stands to improve habitat quality for forest-nesting birds with Audubon New York and the Bird-Friendly Maple program. bit.ly/4cUbiim

Want a chance to see some of our planet’s most amazing bird life and landscapes across the Western Hemisphere? We’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with HX Hurtigruten Expeditions, the tourism company renowned for its commitment to sustainable expedition cruising, offering unparalleled travel experiences aligned with both entities’ conservation goals. This partnership launches with ten sailings of five Audubon Voyages itineraries, selected from HX’s extensive global offerings, that include opportunities to observe diverse bird species and their ecosystems in the Galápagos, Alaska, and Antarctica. “Audubon’s conservation mission aligns well with the hands-on and science-enriched operations of HX,” says Dr. Chad Wilsey, Audubon’s chief scientist. “HX employs industry-leading efforts in eco-friendly practices and a commitment to conservation across all their itineraries, including important support for community science activities onboard. Through our partnership, we hope to engage more people in the urgent fight to protect birds and the places they need.” Learn more about how to set sail with Audubon and HX: https://bit.ly/3RZI5dK

In May, Audubon North Carolina members from across the Tarheel State met with lawmakers to advocate for wetlands protections, conservation trust funds, and family land protections that will benefit birds and the North Carolina places that they depend on. But how will all of that help birds? Read more about the members' experience with state officials and the policies they supported to learn more.

We’ve all been there, seeing a bird’s nest in an absurd location and thinking, “What could’ve possessed it to build that there?” From mailboxes to gutters, birds can choose inconvenient or silly—and sometimes dangerous—places to nest. But what can you do? Audubon Great Lakes has put together a helpful guide with bird-friendly actions you can take when birds nest in “bad locations.” Read it here: https://bit.ly/3XHO6PU
