THREAT TO SAGE GROUSE
Department of the Interior is revising conservation plans for Greater Sage-Grouse, risking further population declines.
where 20+ years of bold action, focus on results, and partnership are bringing back the birds across the Western Hemisphere. Our mission is clear: to conserve native birds and their habitats across the Americas. In doing so, we benefit not only American birds but all other species as well.
Our fearless approach to conservation drives all that we do, and the results are measurable. We’ve made significant strides to safeguard rare birds, conserve important bird habitat, reduce top threats to birds, and build an Americas-wide community of bird conservationists.
Toxic neonicotinoids are in hundreds of products, from seeds to salad bars.
With support from the Leon Levy Foundation, we work to make wind energy "bird-smart."
With our partners, we're protecting places migratory birds need most.

We knew we'd need something spectacular to compete with today's eclipse excitement, so we chose Glittering Starfrontlet! It's one of about 200 species of hummingbird that find refuge in the reserves we support across Central and South America. abcbirds.org/stunning_hummingbirds/

Reminder to eBird the eclipse! From our friends Cornell Lab of Ornithology: "Past solar eclipses have featured accounts of strange bird behavior: unusual song, lack of song, roosting behavior, frantic flight, and more. For this eclipse, we want to see what information we can add through your eBird checklists."

We were thrilled to have a visit with Glaucia Drummond of our Brazilian partner group Fundação Biodiversitas earlier this week. One of the projects we support with them is the "Songbird Forest," home to the Banded Cotinga (shown) and many other rare birds. abcbirds.org/article/expansion-of-brazilian-songbird-forest-reserve-protects-some-of-the-worlds-r...
