Birds Tell Us to Act on Climate
Pledge to stand with Audubon to call on elected officials to listen to science and work towards climate solutions.
This spring, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundationawarded more than $1 million in funding for Desert Terminal Lakes. National Audubon Society (Audubon) received a portion of that funding to work in partnership with Manomet, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW), and Lahontan Audubon Society (LAS) to identify management opportunities for shorebird habitat and to increase shorebird and habitat monitoring capacity at Nevada’s Lahontan Valley Wetlands Site, located approximately 70 miles east of Reno.

Spring is almost here, but there’s still time to enjoy the thousands of shorebirds that are visiting the Berkeley waterfront for some winter R&R.
These birds were able to travel in 2020, even if we couldn’t. Many flew thousands of miles to get here, from as far away as the High Arctic or the Great Plains. Shorebirds are drawn to the Bay Area in winter by our climate, our shorelines bordered with marsh plants, and the large variety of invertebrates and small shellfish that thrive in the Bay’s mix of salt and fresh water.
