Fitbits and Missing Mallards

Birds. Plants. Wildlife. Conservation.   Produced by Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center, part of the National Audubon Society, this weekly podcast explores the natural world through engaging conversations with our Audubon staff, naturalists, scientists, and community leaders.   From backyard birds and native plants to pollinators, habitats, and conservation in action, each episode offers practical knowledge, fun perspectives, and simple ways to connect with nature—wherever you live.   Whether you're just getting started or already connected to the outdoors, our goal is simple: help you discover something new, get outside, and become an advocate for birds, wildlife, and healthy ecosystems.   Summary: Where have all the Mallards gone? In 2021, biologists asked this question. To find the answer they would create the largest bird population study in recent history and employ Fitbits to help them gather data.   Show Notes:  National Audubon Action Center: https://www.audubon.org/takeaction [https://www.audubon.org/takeaction] Audubon Magazine: https://www.audubon.org/magazine [https://www.audubon.org/magazine] Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center https://www.audubon.org/dogwood-canyon [https://www.audubon.org/dogwood-canyon] Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/Dogwood.Canyon.Audubon [https://www.facebook.com/Dogwood.Canyon.Audubon] Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center TikTok: @dogwood_canyon If you have a question, comment, or would like to share a bird or native plant sighting you can email us at: dcac@audubon.org [dcac@audubon.org]
