Of all the myriad animal senses, the most mysterious and controversial is the perception of magnetism.

Somehow, migratory songbirds, sea turtles, and other creatures detect Earth’s magnetic field and use its directionality to help them navigate.

Now, a new paper has found a surprising mechanism: Iron-rich immune cells within homing pigeons’ livers seem to give the birds their magnetic compass. Learn more: https://scim.ag/4v8Vscs

We just had to share the extreme cuteness happening in one of our Purple Martin nests at Peaceful Waters Sanctuary in Wellington Florida!

Eight crested ibises were released into the wild in a north-central Japanese town, decades after the birds went extinct in the country.

The birds went extinct on the Honshu main island in the 1970s, threatened by overhunting and environmental degradation.

Loxahatchee Slough Eagle Nest Final Update – Flying Free

Land management staff and a dedicated volunteer site steward monitored an eagle nest in Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area for more than three months. Through video and photos, they documented the growth of one bald eagle family – from parents sheltering a fuzzy down-covered chick to a juvenile jumping around and testing its wings. We are pleased to announce that the juvenile is flying free over the slash pine woodlands. This photo, taken May 25, 2026, shows the juvenile soaring through a blue sky. He (or she) will remain close to the nest tree for the next one to two months, getting fed by the adults and learning from them how to scavenge and hunt. By 17 to 23 weeks of age, the bond fades, parents stop feeding it, and the juvenile is on its own. We can’t wait to see what transpires at this nest in 2027!

Join us on June 2nd for an exciting presentation by Rebecca Heisman, an award-winning science writer and author whose passion for uncovering the fascinating history behind bird migration research led her to write her debut book, Flight Paths: How a Passionate and Quirky Group of Pioneering Scientists Solved the Mystery of Bird Migration.

We’ve all heard amazing facts about bird migration—the long distances that birds travel, the ways that they navigate, etc. But did you ever wonder how we figured all of this out? While working for the American Ornithological Society, Rebecca Heisman became fascinated with the varied and creative techniques that scientists have used to study bird migration, and this eventually became the basis for her book Flight Paths: How a Passionate and Quirky Group of Pioneering Scientists Solved the Mystery of Bird Migration. In her talk, she’ll share some surprising stories from the history of bird migration research and discuss why understanding migration is so crucial for bird conservation.

Rebecca Heisman is an award-winning science writer who lives in Walla Walla, Washington, and has worked with organizations including the Audubon Society, the American Bird Conservancy, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the American Ornithological Society. Flight Paths is her first book.
