Welcome Message
Fall migration is underway! You’re probably thinking ducks, no, I’m talking shorebirds!
When I see them along the coast of Maine, I imagine the landscapes where they nest in the Arctic, winter in the southern hemisphere, and the challenges they face along the way. Thirty-four of the 52 shorebird species found in North America are on the Partners in Flight Watch List and/or at a tipping point.
To ensure future generations can witness these incredible long-distance travelers, we need to work together and invest in conservation efforts north of the border through Fall Flights and south of the border through Southern Wings. As the Chair of AFWA’s Bird Conservation Committee and a member of the Fall Flights Advisory Committee, I encourage you to include Fall Flights, Southern Wings, and the shorebird species that migrate through your state in your State Wildlife Action Plan.
Cheers,
Judy Camuso
Fall Flights Advisory Committee Member
Commissioner of the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife
