Before you drive away from the pump, give that gas cap a quick check! ⛽

A loose, damaged, or cracked gas cap can let fuel vapors escape, wasting fuel & increasing emissions. When filling up, stop when the nozzle automatically shuts off. Overfilling the tank can release harmful vapors.

A quick check can make a difference. 🚗

Today is World Migratory Bird Day! This year’s theme focuses on community science. From backyard bird counts to large-scale coordinated surveys, community science efforts provide information on species distribution, abundance trends, migration timing, and breeding success. This data helps identify conservation priorities and inform effective conservation action strategies.

Community science makes conservation possible. Volunteers can gather information across vast areas and in places professionals can’t always reach. Whether you are recording information about the birds that are present where you live, the vegetation that they use, or other aspects of their life cycles. Your observations matter.

Community science also welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds, making the scientific process accessible and empowering. With apps like eBird, iNaturalist, Observation.org, Ornitho, BirdTrack, and BirdLasser, identification and data sharing is at your fingertips. Using these tools not only aids research but reconnects people with the joy of birdwatching and nature.

By engaging individuals and communities in monitoring efforts, we not only gather scientific data but also build a deeper connection to nature, raise awareness about the challenges migratory birds face, and inspire direct conservation action. 

Broward Parks offers regular birding excursions in local natural areas monthly. Learn more at: webtrac.broward.org
