Movement, one of the 5 themes of geography, is perfectly illustrated by @audubonsociety's Bird Migration Explorer. It's interactive and an excellent teaching tool for GIS Day. https://t.co/vd6fLBx8ah

Our land stewardship team spotted this flock of Swallow-tailed Kites staging for #Migration in the northern part of the Sanctuary! They're getting ready to head to wintering grounds in South America. See their flight path here: https://t.co/gM31TOrnPX

Need one last fix of spring migration? @ChadWitko reflects on the joy that migratory birds bring us and highlights some of the species that are still on the way to their breeding grounds. https://t.co/1gM54qhfw7

This is an amazing tool! Thanks to my friend @ChadBWilsey in @audubonsociety for introducing it to me and to our Jasper Ridge community!

Part of the approved drilling will occur in the Teshekpuk Lake Special Area. Using the Bird Migration Explorer, you can see that migratory birds travel from this important place all across the entire United States and even to southern South America.

The Biden administration has approved the Willow Project, a major oil drilling project in an incredibly sensitive and important place for migratory birds.

Did you know that @audubonsociety's Bird Migration Explorer is now available on your mobile browser? As spring migration crawls north, it's the perfect way to answer where your favorite migratory species is generally located.

The Bird Migration Explorer is now mobile-friendly! Check out the epic journeys made by 450+ species of migratory birds found in the US and Canada. https://t.co/njIIpabu0Q

The Bird Migration Explorer is such a comprehensive and complete resource thanks to researchers like @evornithology, one of hundreds of scientists who generously shared data with Audubon and our partners to bring this first-of-its-kind platform to life. https://t.co/A0hCi2Jl7g

The 2022 #StateOfTheBirds report is here. Birds across the U.S. show downward trends in every habitat except wetlands—where comebacks show the power of funding & policies to restore nature, boost birds, & help our communities. https://t.co/fhyDo0BPjK

Migratory Black-throated Blue Warblers are iconic along the Atlantic Flyway, and they're migrating south now! Turn off your lights to keep them safe along their journey. https://t.co/xbJFWesTCQ

It has been an honor to partner with @AllenCarroll @RossDonihue @WarrenDz @Esri on this eye-catching story as part of the launch of the Bird Migration Explorer (https://t.co/dezxswT2uJ)

[Erika Knight @knighterikaj]

It's been a pleasure working with @blueraster on this.

[Blue Raster @blueraster]

Using #ArcGIS mapping technology, we helped @audubonsociety & partners launch the Bird Migration Explorer! This interactive, digital platform visualizes migration data for birds across the western hemisphere. Check it out: https://t.co/ZPsFBzGcpU @Esri @Postlight

[Allen Carroll @AllenCarroll]

Thrilled to have had the opportunity to collaborate with @audubonsociety on a #StoryMaps companion to their amazing new bird migration explorer (https://t.co/rxj8cro9gF). My blog post about it: https://t.co/YzwIcWgOBZ

[Erika Knight @knighterikaj]

I am honored to have played my role in this project alongside Audubon's Migratory Bird Initiative team: @DeppeJill, @alaska_melanie, @nseavy, @WVDeLuca, @nicosgonzalez, @ChadWitko, @MikkoJimenez, @ChadBWilsey, and Lotem Taylor.

[Erika Knight @knighterikaj]

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of an incredible set of new maps in the Bird Migration Explorer, a project I’ve spent the majority of my time on over the last few years. https://t.co/LylIMwEDeV

[Erika Knight @knighterikaj]

This was made possible by @audubonsociety’s founding partners—@BirdsCanada, @BirdConservancy, @birdgenoscape, @BirdLife_News, @CornellBirds, @Esri, @theEarthCommons, @MovebankTeam, and @SMBC—and data generously shared by 100s of researchers and institutions around the world.
