Learn more about birds!Why Birds?Have you ever gazed in wonder at a soaring hawk and imagined what life on the wing must be? What would we do without our feathered friends for company outdoors?In a lifetime, a bird is the most likely wild creature a person will encounter frequently and close at hand.  There are deep-seated reasons why birds have for millennia been considered powerful symbols of freedom, renewal, luck, and beauty among cultures around the globe.How much poorer would we be without the beauty of the bluebird, the haunting song of the meadowlark, or the evocative pair-bonding dance of the Sandhill Crane? Birds are critical Birds  are critical components of natural ecosystems, and by managing for a diversity of birds, we will also protect many other species and the habitats on which they rely. Sensitive Indicators Because of their high metabolic rate, their relatively high position in the food chain, and their distribution across a wide variety of habitats, birds are sensitive indicators of environmental conditions. Citizen Science Birds are relatively easy and cost effective to monitor, and they provide an excellent means by which to track larger changes in natural systems. This is the concept upon which the world’s largest biodiversity-related citizen science platform, eBird is built! Indeed, our rapidly expanding capacity to monitor migration, reproduction, and survivorship in birds provides us with the ability to proactively address root causes of population declines and increases.Why Care About Birds?How do birds, bird habitat, and bird conservation align with human goals and interests?5 simple reasonswhy you should care about birds: MissionTo promote the enjoyment, scientific study, and conservation of birds and their habitat by sharing information, making announcements, encouraging 'call to action' conservation efforts and growing our membership.
