This service column teaches readers about projects they can do in their own backyard. The focus is on both birds and birding-as a sport, a science, and a pastime. The can cover aspects as varied as the discovery of a new species or an exceptional birding event. The goal of this column is to explain a natural phenomenon and how it affects or shapes a habitat. Wherever possible, we will look for a news angle.
Subjects can include scientists, artists, activists, and adventurers.
The strength of Audubon's feature well has always been in presenting stories that deal with a vast array of issues, from topics as broad as the national parks to a close examination of one species. We will also focus on battles for the environment and the people involved in them. The National Audubon Society publishes Audubon magazine six times a year. The magazine goes to some 500,000 readers. It has been nominated 16 times for ASME National Magazine Awards and has won 5 times, once for General Excellence.
