In North America, billions of birds are on the move for fall migration. They will collectively fly billions of miles as they journey south to their nonbreeding grounds in search of the food and warmth they need to make it through the year. Some birds, like the Red-winged Blackbird, only need to travel a short distance to find the resources they need. Others, like the Arctic Tern, traverse the entire Western Hemisphere.
Sin importar la distancia, la migración es un viaje físicamente exigente y peligroso. Dada la pérdida de casi 3 mil millones de aves in the U.S. and Canada since 1970, American Bird Conservancy (ABC) is encouraging action to help birds survive and thrive. Here are ways to help.
