The U.S. Supreme Court voted Thursday to impede the ability of the federal government to protect ecosystems and landscapes critical to the health of bird populations and communities across the nation, opening the door to under-regulated and environmentally harmful development projects.
"We can find more joy by savoring the birds we see and the songs we hear. One recent preliminary study found that birdwatchers who paid attention to the joy they felt for each bird reported greater mental health benefits than those who merely counted the birds they saw."
Recent research shows what we've already known! The Washington Post reported on the findings of two peer-reviewed studies published last year, which found that seeing and hearing birds supports our mental well-being. Click the blog title to read the whole article.

San Diego Audubon Society and San Diego Gas & Electric have worked together for over a decade to restore the California Least Tern nesting habitat in Mission Bay. We appreciate the help of SDG&E employees and their families who have dedicated over 2,200 hours to this cause!
They're back! The Keller Barn Owls, Pop Pop Prince and Mama Gufo (“owl” in Italian) are nesting again, and we get to see what's going on in the nursery. Check back often, as the story changes every day. At the beginning of the season, the parents will dote on one another, preening each other's feathers and being cozy. Then come the eggs, and a little while later, the hungry owlets. Watch them grow. Because this is a livestream, there may be times the owls are not home, being less than glamorous, or doing something you find confusing. We hope you enjoy this window into the daily life of Barn Owls, and learn about their lives by experiencing it firsthand!
