@Nicole_Michel @audubonsociety Yay! @AudubonPuffin

I finally got around to reading the fall '22 @audubonsociety magazine & it was a lovely surprise to see this photo of @jill_tengeres with an Aleutian Tern (handled with permits for her grad research @OregonState) & a link to my story on the imperiled bird! https://t.co/c21lETULub

In 2010, a novel fungal disease started killing ‘ōhi‘a, an important tree for Hawaii's critically endangered birds. Mostly limited to #Hawaii and #Kauai, the fungi's spread to the birds' last refuges could be disastrous.

My latest for @audubonsociety:

Very concerning #ternscience here! 😬

[Michelle Wille @DuckSwabber]

Terns have been heavily impacted by HPAI. Thousands of Sandwich Terns reported in the Netherlands, and a recent paper describes the thousands more affected in Germany, in addition to other seabirds.

You still have time to apply for these summer field positions! I spent 3 summers working for @AudubonPuffin and highly recommend this awesome opportunity to work with #seabirds!

[Don Lyons @don_e_lyons]

So lucky to work with these talented and passionate folks!

[Hog Island Audubon @AudubonCamp]

I met Pimachiowin Aki Indigenous leaders in Winnipeg a few weeks ago and am so impressed with their conservation & management of this amazing place! But I really need to visit during the summer now :)

[Audubon's Canada Program @AudubonCAN]

Pimachiowin Aki, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a landscape of rivers, lakes, wetlands, and #BorealForest on the shores of Lake Winnipeg. @ChadBWilsey writes of his recent visit. https://t.co/bOWwuReiAM

[Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary @CHNMSanctuary]

Do you know where the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary would be?

In this video, Chief Fred Collins, original nominator of the sanctuary, tells us more about what area the sanctuary would cover.

[Don Lyons @don_e_lyons]

@taaltree @ChacCousins Hi Taal- I don't see a significant downside for using "community science" - usually is easy to provide context and avoid confusion. For what it is worth, most Audubon organizations switched terminology in 2018. e.g.: https://t.co/ur7yPQwVwO (scroll down), https://t.co/OLJ8NIoJBJ

[Don Lyons @don_e_lyons]

Quite the milestone! So many good people working hard for seabirds. 🙏 @PacificSeabirds

@PacificSeabirds' Committee on Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity is meeting at #PSG2013 NOW! @foggybinoculars is sharing an equity-based categorization of jobs to be advertised on the PSG website i.e. how do we deal with unpaid internships?!?

[Don Lyons @don_e_lyons]

@AudubonPuffin's @KennerleyWill just finished up a great talk at #PSG2013 on Atlantic Puffin foraging in marine heat wave conditions!

[GMRI @GMRI]

NEW: With an annual average sea surface temperature (SST) of 53.66°F, the Gulf of Maine experienced its second-warmest year on record in 2022.

This year fell 0.43°F short of the previous warmest year on record—2021—but broke other records. 🧵
