| Get into the Halloween spirit with these shockingly bad bird horror movies! Featuring performances that make Moira Rose look like Meryl Streep, these ghoulishly awful creature features are a sure hit for a trashy horror movie night. Happy Halloween! | | | | |
| If you've ever visited the Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary in central Nebraska, you know Sandhill Cranes put on a spectacular migration show in the spring. Still, fall is a fantastic time to seek out these beautiful birds, too! Autumn also comes with a bonus: huge flocks of Sandhill Cranes are within reach for birders across much of the country. Learn more about the fall Sandhill Crane migration and where to watch. Read on | | | Sandhill Cranes flock to the Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area in Indiana each fall. | | | | | | |
| Along the banks of the St. Lawrence River, an incredible phenomenon occurs during spring that few ever get to see. Hundreds of thousands of migrating warblers—likely blown off course the previous night—pass through the Tadoussac dunes after reorienting themselves. A new 3-part video series features our partners at SNAP Quebec as they travel to Tadoussac, meet with folks at the local bird observatory, learn about Boreal conservation efforts, and witness the amazing spectacle of reverse migration!

| One of the biggest developers and building managers in Raleigh, North Carolina is committed to making the city's night skies safer for migrating birds, thanks to a new partnership with Wake Audubon. As part of the Lights Out Wake program, the developer will turn off unnecessary building lights at its commercial buildings during migration season, and is asking its tenants to do the same.

Globally, seabird populations have declined by a staggering 70 percent since the 1950s. Last week, Audubon on Campus members from across the country traveled to Washington, DC to meet with key Members of Congress in support of seabirds. You can join them at this critical moment by asking your own U.S. Representative and Senators to support the laws and policies that protect seabirds from threats like overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.
