Utah problems. . .😅

My latest, on the bar-tailed godwit's incredible journey and the unparalleled physiology that makes it possible. Their annual odyssey is underway as I write. The Godwit’s Long, Long Nonstop Journey nytimes.com/2022/09/20/sci…

The Salton Sea is an integral part of the migratory journey of so many birds! #BirdsNeedWater ca.audubon.org/news/shorebird…

3 decades have passed since the last comprehensive shorebird surveys were done: Now, ⁦Audubon Society⁩ ⁦@PointBlueConSci⁩ and hundreds of surveyors help fill in important data gaps on vulnerable habitats #BirdsNeedWater audubon.org/news/regional-…

First Utes Football game in over a decade with my brother in law. A family asked if we could switch seats so they could sit together - turned out to be an ex-Ravens offensive lineman and we got box seats with free food! Being nice pays off! #GoUtes!

3 decades have passed since the last comprehensive shorebird surveys were done: Now Audubon & partners—& hundreds of surveyors—are filling in these data gaps on vulnerable habitats. The results will guide water management across the West. #BirdsNeedWater audubon.org/news/regional-…

Much needed attention finally to unique ecosystems of Utah's Great Salt Lake, California's Mono Lake, Oregon's Lake Albert and other saline lakes!! #BirdsNeedWater #airquality kuer.org/health-science…

Great Salt Lake will benefit from great precipitation this winter! But that doesn’t mean the water challenges are solved. #BirdsNeedWater #BirdsTellUs audubon.org/news/utahs-wet…

In the past 30 years shorebird habitats have changed dramatically—but have the shorebird populations that depend on them? Audubon and partners are counting shorebirds across more than 200 sites to find out. #BirdsNeedWater audubon.org/news/replicati…

For the first time in 30 years, a migratory bird census is being conducted across 700,000 acres of wetlands on Great Salt Lake to help decision makers more informedly protect this critical habitat. @Fox13 spoke to Audubon’s Max Malmquist 🪶 about the count. bit.ly/4g3kC5y

A Lesser Yellowlegs was picked up by a Motus wildlife tracking station in Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary Sanctuary in Florida in August. This very same bird was tagged by Audubon Americas and partners as part of a study in Colombia in April! bit.ly/47fnvw4

After more than 2.5 years of bargaining and mounting a nationwide strike threat, we have come to a tentative agreement with Audubon management. The 3 year deal is a direct result of the dedication and hard work of our membership. We will proceed with a ratification vote.

We are proud to announce that our membership voted UNANIMOUSLY to ratify a three-year contract, our union’s first. More details to follow. We’re extremely grateful for all of the support you’ve shown us throughout the last 2.5 years of bargaining and escalations.
