Audubon Magazine

INBOX

The Case for Climate Liability • To force fossil fuel companies to cover the steep costs of unnatural disasters, cities are suing them for decades of deception.

A Bond Across Ages • A course at the University of Vermont combines ecology, social justice, mentorship, and ornithology. Trish O’Kane, its creator, hopes the model will inspire others.

If You Build It, Will They Come? • Common Tern populations in Maryland’s Coastal Bays region are dwindling. A floating island built to attract the iconic seabirds could serve as a lifeline.

Inherit the Earth • Reforming heirs’ property laws could help Black farmers hold on to their land and make it more bird-friendly.

Greetings from FLORIDA "The Land of Ibis" • The White Ibis is a natural wanderer, traveling far and wide to find a good meal. But in the Sunshine State some birds are scoring steady grub by settling in next to people. What does that mean for the species’ future—and what does it say about ours?

THE NEW BIRD DOGS • With their boundless enthusiasm and amazing powers of smell, canines are playing a growing role in global efforts to protect wildlife.

THE STRANGE, TRUE STORY OF JOHN WILLIAMS AND CHARLES PENNOCK • IN THE EARLY 1900S IT WASN’T UNUSUAL FOR MEN TO SUDDENLY GO MISSING. AMONG THEM WERE TWO ACCOMPLISHED BIRD EXPERTS WHOSE LIVES TURNED OUT TO BE SURPRISINGLY INTERTWINED.

VITAL SIGNS • The Colorado River Delta has a pulse again, thanks to a historic binational agreement that is providing hope for the future of this key avian habitat—even as drought and climate change take hold like never before.

Bird Like It’s Your Job • Some pandemic-era remote workers are returning to physical office spaces. Here’s how to take workday birding habits with you.

Do Birds Follow the Same Routes in Spring and Fall? • Not necessarily, according to renowned birder and author Kenn Kaufman. Here’s why this migration season might bring a different set of bird species than the last one.

Why You Should Experience a Hawkwatch

Look Up! • An introduction to identifying raptors in flight.

Hawking Essentials • Packing a few key items helps guarantee a successful day observing raptors on the wing.

Godwits in the Haze • Sebastian Velasquez ventured onto a smoky California beach to capture birds foraging in a landscape choked by wildfire.

What We’re Reading • New releases recommended by Audubon editors.

Pigeons Have an Image Problem • In A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, Rosemary Mosco shines a witty and compassionate spotlight on what she calls “the world’s most misunderstood bird.”

THE ILLUSTRATED AVIARY • Reimagining John James Audubon’s “Birds of America” COMMON LOON BY E BOND
