The Bird Migration Explorer, from the National Audubon Society and partners, shows you where birds go and how they get there.
That’s why Deppe, Audubon, and other researchers, institutions, and technology vendors, built an interactive map, called the Bird Migration Explorer, helping non-scientist bird enthusiasts see a snapshot of the journeys these birds undertake, and understand their impact. It came online this week and is available in English and Spanish. Visit itThe explorer allows you to track bird migrations like you would track flights out of major airports.
“We have lots of different types of data. Some are very precise, some are very coarse,” Deppe says.
The second map is a map of the connections. It uses some tracking data and data on the locations of banded birds. “If you put a band on a bird and someone finds it somewhere else, you have a connection between those two points,” Deppe explains. This connection map also considers the genetic composition of the bird species. “It’s almost like ancestry.com, but for birds,” she says. “If you catch a bird you can look at its genetics and trace it back to a different location and atmosphere.
The third map shows where and when birds face the most conservation challenges—from climate change to light pollution to industry and agriculture practices. To start, there are 458 species documented in the explorer. For 184 of them, the team gathered tracking data for the pathways of 9,000 individuals.
