From PFAS in Pelicans to Avian Research Assistants: What's Inside Our Next Issue?
The growing chorus of birdsong is a sign for many that spring is (finally!) in the air. In Audubon's latest issue, listening to birds tells us much, much more. This sampling of stories from the magazine shows what people can learn by paying close attention to our avian neighbors—whether scientists are testing pelicans to understand chemical contamination that affects us all, or strapping sensors on cormorants to measure ocean currents. If you want to stay attuned to birds and get future issues of Audubon in the mail, consider starting an annual donation. Thanks for reading!
