For the last week or so, Audubon California has enjoyed the company of two researchers from CECPAN, based in Chile, and an Audubon partner through Birdlife International. Pictured above, from left, are Jorge Valenzuela and Alvaro Montaña with Audubon California Ecologist Justin Schuetz. While here, our friends from Chile checked out our work with private landowners in the Central Valley, visited the Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary, and learned about our ongoing research into how climate change impacts birds. CECPAN is working with Audubon and other partners to protect habitat on private land on Chiloe Island in southern Chile for Hudsonian Godwits and Whimbrels.
