Over 1,000 years ago, ancestral Polynesians set off in a boat in search of a place they thought existed. Historians believe that migrating birds guided them. During the day they could track a long-legged wading bird by sight, and by night they could follow their loud calls.

Partners in Flight is a dynamic and welcoming network of more than 150 partner organizations throughout the Western Hemisphere engaged in all aspects of landbird conservation. We encourage partners to make use of our Plans, databases, Watch List species, and other resources.
