Created by Audubon and nine founding partners, using migration data contributed by hundreds of researchers and institutions, the Bird Migration Explorer is a first-of-its-kind, free, interactive, digital platform that visualizes the heroic annual journeys of 458 North American migratory species. Available in English and Spanish, you can use the Explorer to see the incredible journeys of migratory birds throughout the year, how they connect us across the hemisphere, and the various challenges they face along the way. By mapping where, when, and how extensively species are exposed to human activities and environmental changes, we can develop more effective solutions that will maximize benefits for birds and people.

Our explainer walks through how you can use the Explorer to learn about the birds in your community, the journeys they make, and the challenges they experience along the way. Learn more | | | | | | |

In the heart of the Western Everglades lies Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, historically the site of the largest nesting colony of Wood Storks in the country. However, in recent decades, Wood Storks are frequently choosing not to nest at the Sanctuary, or their nests are failing. From flying in the sky to walking through fire, the people who love this special place are fighting to bring Wood Storks back. Watch the video | | | Election Day is quickly approaching.
