Mount Pleasant Magazine March/April 2020

43 www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.ILoveMountPleasant.com | www.BestofMP.com feature Although dire, the recent climate impact study predictions are not a foregone conclusion. The report indicates that if we act now, we can improve the chances for 76% of bird species at risk. Audubon offers several ways to get involved, including advocating for clean energy policies that help birds, such as 2019’s SC Energy Freedom Act supporting solar technologies. You can also protect local places that birds need to survive, such as the Patriots Point Nature Trail, which Johnson identified as a critically important food stopover for migrating birds that use it to fuel up for their long journeys. Another step anyone can take is planting and advocating for native plants, which Johnson notes Mount Pleasant does a good job of doing already. “Planting native is a good way to create habitat for these birds as they adapt to climate change,” he said. Non-native plants do not provide any resources for birds, which are adapted to native plants, either to the fruits or insects they provide. As a bird watcher, you can also play a vital citizen science role through reporting the birds you encounter in a particular area, whether as part of a local or global bird count initiative, or simply a day of documenting what you see at Pitt Street Bridge or Sullivan’s Island Nature Trail through the eBird app. Scientists and researchers around the world use eBird to study trends and how bird populations are faring, noted Johnson. “It provides valuable data.” Access the Audubon report online at audubon.org/climate/ survivalbydegrees and use the Birds and Climate Visualizer tool to learn more about how birds found here either year-round or seasonally could be affected. • TIRE SALE • TIRE SALE • TIRE SALE • TIRE SALE • TIRE SALE • TIRE SALE • We Match & Beat Any Estimate FREE Tire Rotation & Brake Inspection With thisMPMCoupon.Thiscoupon isnotvalid withanyothercouponoffers.Expires04/30/2020.
