Take a Virtual Tour of the Texas Coast
For 100 years, Audubon Texas has managed coastal islands for bird habitat. Today, they look over 175 largely undeveloped islands that offer nesting habitat for more than 20 species of waterbirds. The islands and all of the Texas coast also provide an oasis for birds facing a long migration across the Gulf of Mexico to rest and fuel up for their journey. However, these islands are disappearing due to sea-level rise, erosion, and tropical storms. Explore this atlas to discover birds of the vibrant Texas coast. You can also see how much land will be lost if nothing is done to mitigate sea-level rise. Try it out ([link removed])

One Day of Deadly Window Strikes for New York City’s Birds

Follow along as New Yorkers work to stop the flood of avoidable bird deaths that swamp the city each migration season. Keep reading ([link removed])

Audubon in Action
Our Next Five Years of Climate Action
Audubon is ready for swift and bold action on renewables and natural carbon storage at this critical time for the planet. The path to stabilizing the climate requires a dramatic shift to clean energy and nature-positive markets. Without action, we know from Audubon’s Survival by Degrees report that that two-thirds of North America’s bird species may face unlivable conditions across their current ranges by 2080. Read on for more on our ambitious goals to significantly change our planet’s carbon trajectory. Learn more ([link removed])

Help Migratory Birds Across the Western Hemisphere
More than half of North American bird species migrate to Latin America and the Caribbean for wintering habitat, including many beloved yet declining songbirds, shorebirds, and more. New, bipartisan legislation would increase investment in conservation projects to help these imperiled birds. Urge your U.S. Representative to cosponsor the Migratory Birds of the Americas Conservation Enhancements Act (H.R. 4389) to strengthen conservation for migratory birds. Take action ([link removed])

Don’t Be a Beach Bully, Share the Shore!
Nesting shorebirds love the beach too! But during the busy season, beachgoers and their pets often get too close, exposing chicks and eggs to being crushed underfoot, overheating in the sun, or succumbing to predators. You can help encourage others to give coastal birds the space they need to rest and nest with our Share the Shore gifts and apparel. Explore tank tops, hoodies, beach bags and towels adorned with our message of the season ([link removed]).
