Unique Geography Creates a Huge Concentration of Boreal Birds
Along the banks of the St. Lawrence River, an incredible phenomenon occurs during spring that few ever get to see. Hundreds of thousands of migrating warblers—likely blown off course the previous night—pass through the Tadoussac dunes after reorienting themselves. A new 3-part video series features our partners at SNAP Quebec as they travel to Tadoussac, meet with folks at the local bird observatory, learn about Boreal conservation efforts, and witness the amazing spectacle of reverse migration!

Speak Up for Seabirds
Seabirds are indicators of the planet’s health—when they’re in trouble, so are we. Globally, seabird populations have declined by a staggering 70 percent since the 1950s. Last week, Audubon on Campus members from across the country traveled to Washington, DC to meet with key Members of Congress in support of seabirds. You can join them at this critical moment by asking your own U.S. Representative and Senators to support the laws and policies that protect seabirds from threats like overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.
