I co-made this! Long-distance migrants can't survive w/o countries collaborating to safeguard all sites across their annual cycle. May this piece raise regard for the incredible waterbirds of Africa/Eurasia and increase commitments to joint monitoring and conservation. (12 min.)

Shorebirds connect the planet—with flocks traveling thousands of miles each year and gathering in immense numbers at stopover sites. This video celebrates the birds & beauty of the African-Eurasian Flyway: https://t.co/d8cDS45sxW #savingtheplacesbirdscallhome @unep_aewa

So… our kid asked “Why is the sky blue” knowing that they never get short answers about anything from @eigensteve and me. Great way to get out of trouble. And now we have colorful notes

The #BirdabilityMap is an ongoing partnership between Birdability and the GIS consultants @NationalAudubon, created to provide the detail needed for all kinds of folks with disabilities and other health concerns when going birding. Contribute a Site Review to help it grow! 🙌

And thank you especially to the #BlackBirdersWeek and @BlackAFinSTEM organizers for working to make the world a little kinder to a budding Black birder who sees the goodness in everything. We love him so much.

The @NAOCbirds #NAOC2020 videos are made for the people who lent their voices to them. Now that they're all out, I would like to share an additional dedication I had in mind while making them. (thread)

Thank you to @NAOCbirds #NAOC2020 for amplifying the voices of the communities who have been telling us for so long what we need to do to increase equity and inclusion in ornithology.
