Help Solve the Mystery of Hudsonian Godwit Migration

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

Sometimes it seems like there are not many mysteries remaining to be solved about birds that breed in North America. However, Hudsonian Godwits still represent a true mystery: we do not know how they migrate between their breeding grounds in northern Canada and Alaska and their wintering areas in extreme southern South America. Between their staging areas in southern Alaska and Canada and northern Argentina, godwits largely go unnoticed or unobserved each fall. Do most of them make the trip in one big jump? Is there some stopover site hidden away in some part of remote South America that we don’t know about? And how do they return north each year? Do they all meet up and travel together through the central part of North America? How often do they stop once they reach North America? With the help of eBirders across the western hemisphere we might just solve the mystery!

Be Part of the First Annual Rusty Blackbird Blitz!

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

Populations of Rusty Blackbirds are crashing!
Their numbers have plummeted by as much as 88-98% over the last few
decades, according to data gathered between 1966 and 2006 for the North
American Breeding Bird Survey and Christmas Bird Count. A species that
was once considered to be abundant is rapidly disappearing before our
eyes. Your observations can help save this species by arming scientists
with critical information about its ecology. The Rusty Blackbird Working Group has developed the Rusty Blackbird Blitz, a winter survey whose goal is to count Rusty Blackbirds range-wide just prior to spring migration. From 7-15 February, search for Rusty Blackbirds in your area and report your observations to eBird. Click the image at right to learn more.
