— In addition to sediment, 100 million birds make their way down the Mississippi River Delta each year to Louisiana. These species depend on our coast for nesting, feeding and stopover habitat, just as people depend on it for storm surge protection, jobs, recreation, and more.
We’ve added one more Black Rail to our list – this one detected at our very own Paul J. Rainey Sanctuary in Vermilion Parish! This brings our tally to 8 Black Rails detected and 3 banded.
Help secure the future for birds at risk from climate change, habitat loss and other threats. Your support will power our science, education, advocacy and on-the-ground conservation efforts.
