Great news from the Convention on Migratory Species @cms.int
Marine #flyways are recognized for #seabirds. 🌊 🪶 www.seabirdtracking.org/special/mari...
>30% seabird species are threatened and >50% are declining.
Great example of #science informing #policy. #sciencepolicy
Research to underpin management & #conservation:
When scaled up across #flyways the demand-to-supply ratio of sites will provide a much more comprehensive understanding of limiting constraints on #bird populations than is currently available.

Although the importance of #connectivity is commonly associated with the needs of large mammals, Foreman himself pointed out that the first wildlife corridors to receive protection in the U.S. were #flyways for migratory #birds.
"The protection of corridors for wildlife movement has been a central tenet of rewilding since Dave Foreman coined the term." rewilding.org/corridors-in... #rewilding #flyways #birds
really cool new stuff from the incredible Mara Rosenbloom, and others. #Flyways

Several sites in the US have fall raptor migration counts, see here hawkwatch.org/migration-ne.... Migration os about over this year, plan for next #birds #raptors #flyways
From the Siberian steppes to North African lagoons. The slender-billed curlew bred in Russia & Kazakhstan. Paused at Danube & Po Deltas. Wintered in Tunisia & Morocco. Was hunted across Europe. The chain of wetlands that held it. Gone.

Absolutely gobsmacked to witness massive raptor migration near Panama City this morning. Probably the most birds I've ever seen in my life! The video doesn't do it justice, there were clouds of them moving through. Nature is amazing. #birds #flyways
This is a whole lotta birds. Turns off the lights for them. May they fly safe.

When I'm not looking down (and sometimes up) for mushrooms, I'm scanning treetops for white and listening for birdsong. Millions of birds migrate across Washington this weekend | king5.com share.google/zVPtEplh5mu0... #fungifriday #birdmigration #flyways #lightsout
Today it’s #WorldMigratoryBird day, a great time to revisit this paper on #BirdCrime on the #Flyways. In it we examine how flyways & animal cultures require a rethink of global environmental governance - it’s #OA in @risjnl.bsky.social ⬇️

The marine #flyways concept can help coordinate collaborative #conservation efforts for migratory #seabirds, building on the successes of the existing flyways for land and waterbirds

For the past 27 years, the #GreatBackyardBirdCount has helped scientists document migrating populations of birds. 🐦
Come kick off this year's count, Feb 14-17, with a special viewing of PBS's #Flyways.
We are increasingly able map conservation priorities across global spanning #Flyways
Birds know no borders (just like GHG, chemical pollution, pandemics etc). In a world plagued by inwards and backwards looking demagogues, international cooperation remains vital.

Great graphic showing the various #flyways or migration routes taken by migrating #birds over the US. As we hit “rush hour” on these routes, we expect to see a resulting increase in #H5N1 cases in flyover states

New paper by Teresa Lappe-Osthege & myself on #BirdCrime along the #flyways. We bring together #PoliticalEcology & #AnimalStudies to further develop non-human #IR. It’s #OpenAccess & out now in Review of International Studies ⬇️ beastlybusiness.org/2024/05/28/n...

Analysis of ringing data for diving #ducks #pochard show frequent switching between #flyways and that spring #migration is starting earlier #globallythreatenedspecies
