Found only in the Americas, hummingbirds surprise and delight us — yet many of these feisty birds are on the verge of disappearing forever, including 39 that are globally threatened. Habitat loss is the biggest threat they face – particularly loss of forests and mountain shrublands.
Last month, Audubon announced the Bird Migration Explorer, a first-of-its-kind, interactive, digital platform that visualizes the heroic annual journeys of 458 North American migratory species. The culmination of years of collaboration and scientific contributions from hundreds of researchers and institutions, the Explorer will transform the way we approach the toughest conservation challenges and our relationship with the birds we all love.
