Tens of thousands of wings.
One working landscape.
California rice fields act as surrogate wetlands for birds across the #PacificFlyway. Maintaining 470K–500K acres of rice is essential to meet conservation goals for ducks and shorebirds.

I wasn't able to attend this year's #SaltonSea Bird Festival, but my kind friend @burrowingowl.bsky.social scored me one of this year's T-shirts! Thank you so much, Wendy! Hope we can make it out next year. #SaveTheSaltonSea

This is the White-faced Ibis, a long-legged wader that relies on shallow wetlands/flooded rice fields for food and nesting.
With their iridescent feathers and striking red eyes, they’re 1 of 230 species supported by rice fields acting as surrogate wetlands along the #PacificFlyway.

Black Terns depend on healthy wetlands to breed, often nesting in marshes across North America.
In California, ricelands serve as vital breeding habitat for these agile fliers and other shorebirds along the #PacificFlyway, supporting their survival.
