THREATENED MONUMENTS
A new proposal to shrink national monuments jeopardizes habitat for Northern Spotted Owls and other birds.
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.

Wild guess since no location given and don't think it's a bird from any where I've lived, I'll guess female dickcissel?
Thought it was a Meadowlark...oh well.
Least or willow flycatcher - can't see the wings.
Anyone thinking phoebe?
Beautiful bird
This is a tough one.

If were a bluebird...
We're asking the state of California to ban the use of toxic neonicotinoid pesticides on public lands. If this trend-setting state takes action, we hope others will follow suit -- and birds (including Horned Lark, shown), other wildlife, and entire ecosystems will benefit. Thanks, Earthjustice! #BanNeonics

Actually, it will be great if California and other States band together and make such pesticides under a highly restricted (like explosives, TNT etc.) sale catagory and strictly regulate and control their usage - since traitor Scott Pruitt at EPA and Trump administration will not do it because it hurts the bottom line of their darling CEOs.
These heinous pesticides are threatening all our animals and humans alike
Needs to be banned!!!

We're glad to see the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service propose listing the 'I'iwi under the Endangered Species Act, which would help focus additional resources and conservation efforts on this once-common Hawaiian bird. The 'I'iwi has suffered drastic population declines as a result of habitat loss and avian malaria.

After a long, wet hike on Big Island my husband and I started back to the car feeling pretty great that we glimpsed one of these beautiful birds, but a little disappointed we didn't get a picture. About 300 yards from the car, this guy lands right in front of us! I could barely breath while he was focusing. We ended up with this picture and it made our trip!
Beautiful little bird
