The BP oil disaster tragically took 11 people's lives and up to 1 million birds. Since then, we've scaled up our Coastal Bird Stewardship Program to monitor and protect birds across the Gulf. Now, #BirdsTellUs that work is paying off. #RestoreTheGulf https://t.co/dgfXgm2ZYy

This #WorldWaterDay, Audubon is launching a new initiative in the Lower Mississippi River region, identifying nearly 50 million acres across multiple states as the most important places for birds and people. https://t.co/2yRvGjdetc

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill killed an estimated 1 million birds in the Gulf of Mexico. Now a $35 million investment from the spill's settlement will support new projects to #RestoreTheGulf and back the coastal stewardship programs birds need to thrive. https://t.co/z4HLf7LlVP

Audubon staff and volunteers work on beaches and islands around the country to protect birds like Piping Plovers from human disturbance. A new study finds that these coastal bird stewardship programs are essential for many birds to thrive. #SharetheShore https://t.co/Ba4VhC99Ns

“The Boreal Forest of Canada and Alaska is one of few places left on earth where it could still be possible to achieve the levels of conservation that science now shows is necessary." - Jeff Wells (@Bird_Wells) Audubon's VP of Boreal Conservation https://t.co/uloFNuHfcY

Happy Independence Day! Remember to #SharetheShore with nesting beach birds.

The Gulf of Mexico is a haven for birds—millions of birds rely on it to rest before journeying across the hemisphere. Since the BP oil disaster 10 years ago, Audubon has been protecting birds at more than 600 sites across the Gulf Coast. https://t.co/0DDVyxYaSy #RestoreTheGulf

Under the administration's new interpretation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), industrial companies, utilities, and others are let off the hook for incidental bird deaths. "This is how we lose birds." #ProtectTheBirds https://t.co/YZdeMikgSo

.@restorecouncil has announced new funding to #RestoreTheGulf—these projects will restore two special places on the Gulf Coast and help buffer coastal communities from increased storms and flooding from climate change. https://t.co/gXEnuHoNlr

Climate change is threatening hundreds of North American bird species with extinction, according to a new study.

“A lot of state birds will have to move out of the states that they’re known for,” @BillWeirCNN reports. https://t.co/NdRD7KFAHC

Our latest #DeltaDispatches is out now! Today @JacquesHebert & @smaloz chat with @KaraEmmaAnne & @AudubonErik about @audubonsociety's new Gulf report. https://t.co/NV6kcEdlDT

Listing the Eastern Black Rail as threatened under the Endangered Species Act will give them the attention & protection they desperately need. Threatened by rising sea levels, their recovery will test our ability to protect our natural resources in the face of climate change.

From feminist birding clubs to bird-themed documentary nights at craft breweries, birding and the corresponding recognition of what birds tell us about the environment are reaching new—and often younger—audiences. https://t.co/hOD6hTMhnQ
