Projects

Prairie Wings 
The Prairie Wings project is working to conserve a network of sites critical to the long-term viability of migratory and resident grassland bird species in the western Great Plains.

Gulf Wings
The Gulf Wings project is developing a plan to identify and protect the most important and often overlooked stopover habitats for the more than 260 migratory species that make the annual journey across or around the Gulf of Mexico.

Kirtland's Warbler Training and Research
The warbler project takes place in the Bahamas and studies the wintering ecology and habitat requirements for North America's rarest songbird.

Setting Conservation Priorities for Birds in Latin America
This collaborative project has identified priority habitats in Latin America for the more than 1,200 bird species in most urgent need of protection.

NASA Technology Aids Conservancy Bird Research
Doppler weather radar is a powerful new tool in the study of bird migration across the United States.  Researchers on Virginia's Eastern Shore are using this powerful technology to study bird migration and map important migratory stopover sites for future conservation.
