Catch Up on Common Nighthawks
In case you missed it, you can now watch the recorded conversation with author and researcher Gretchen Newberry as she takes us into the hidden world of the Common Nighthawk. Gretchen shared her research journey and conservation strategies for this poorly-understood species whose populations—like those of many birds which eat insects—are on the decline. Watch the recorded nighthawk webinar here.
Create an Insect Buffet for Birds
Continuing our efforts to shine a light on a group of birds needing conservation attention, we have recently published a quick guide to helping aerial insectivores. Download this free guide to learn simple steps you can take to support various aerial insectivores such as nighthawks, swallows, martins, swifts, and flycatchers. Feel free to share with those who maintain landscapes you care about (e.g., homeowner’s associations, workplace sustainability committees, golf courses, building managers, and others).
