What goes on in the woods while we are busy working is incredible. Black-capped Chickadee feeding American Robin nestlings a morsel?
Anyone else see something like this?

Happy Father's Day from The Audubon Shop! 💙

06/11/2026

As the days grow longer nature starts earlier and lasts longer. 🌅

The quiet sunrise moments quickly fill with birdsong, as the day begins before most of us are awake. It’s one of the most rewarding times to step outside. If you’re looking to learn birdsong, start simple: get out there and listen.

Over time, those sounds become familiar; that’s when birding really starts to open up. 🎶 Tools like Merlin Bird ID can help identify species by sound and build confidence in the field.

Now’s the time to step outside and listen.

June is prime time to watch waterbirds across North America. Scan ponds, marshes, and shorelines for herons, egrets, ducks, and terns actively hunting to feed their chicks.

Bring binoculars, move slowly, and keep a respectful distance—you’ll see amazing behaviors like fishing, preening, and parents guiding young across the water.

Need a reset? Trade one scroll break for a nature break. 🌿

A quick 20–30−minute walk outside can:
🔹 Clear your head after work
🔹 Boost your mood and focus
🔹 Turn an ordinary day into an everyday adventure

You don’t need a remote trail to reconnect—start with your nearest park, greenway, or even your own block. Step outside, look up, and see what (and who) is sharing your space.

For a few weeks each spring, everything changes.

Warblers arrive in numbers, moving through fast and often unseen, stopping briefly to rest and refuel before continuing north. 🌍

What gives them away isn’t their color, but their sound. Each species carries its own song, from soft trills to sharp, rhythmic bursts, turning trees and hedgerows into a layered soundscape.

This is migration at full pace.
