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.

Time for our #birdoftheweek challenge! Who can identify this species? (Hint: Naturalist Louis Agassiz Fuertes called its song "the voice of the cool, dark, peaceful solitude which the bird chooses for its home.") We'll post the answer and more info tomorrow morning.

TOP TIP: Purchase a Duck Stamp to help migratory birds - they're not just for ducks!
ABC's Conor Marshall purchases a Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, or 'Duck Stamp,' every year to support bird conservation. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 98 cents of every dollar spent purchasing Federal Duck Stamps is used to acquire and protect habitat or purchase conservation easements. These efforts support not just migratory waterfowl, but other migratory birds as well. Thank you USFWS National Wildlife Refuge System!

With today's snowstorm, I have seen lots of robins searching for food. It's been too cold for insects and the ground is covered with snow. Do you have suggestions as to what I can put out for robins?
I buy two or three every year......
Will do, beautiful capture.
Beautiful
I do.
Nice
Beautiful!!
Per favore, rimettete la traduzione in italiano. Grazie.
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”

Spring hopes eternal 😉
at my job, we get to draw and write on windows with dry-erase markers and i wrote this quote on a front window 🙂
It's easy to tell which one is the female.
I truly believe that the nature that God created is healing and wonderous.
I sat in the woods with the birds for an hour today. A flock of cedar wax wings (one of the most prettiest, most adorable birds ever) sat above me in a tree, periodically flitting around. The chickadees checked me out too. I am in love with the chickadees too ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We call them Welcome Swallows down under.. 🙂
Rachel was so very right.....
