Nesting Snowy Plovers and Least Terns Protect shorebirds this Fourth of July weekend!
KAREN,
Do you love spending time on the beach? Birds like threatened Snowy Plovers and endangered Least Terns can be found on our coast this summer, nesting and resting on our beaches.
Whether you love the beach for sunbathing, walking your dog, fishing, kayaking or boating, you can be a bird-friendly beachgoer with 3 easy steps: - Keep dogs on leash or visit a dog-friendly beach.
- Give shorebirds and seabirds at least 100 feet of space—that's the equivalent of 16 beach towels. Respect fences and signs and stay out of areas that are roped off for breeding birds.
- Avoid use of loud or large flying things that shorebirds and seabirds perceive as predators such as drones, fireworks, balloons, and kites.
To learn more, share our Share the Shore guide. Check out Audubon's new Share the Shore store with beach apparel, t-shirts, totes, towels, and stickers for your summer fun.
We hope you grab some binoculars and enjoy watching coastal birds over the July 4th holiday! | | | | |
