Did you know the simple act of watching the birds in your own backyard can help #SaveTheSongBirds? 👀🐦 We've lost about 30% of breeding bird populations in the U.S. and Canada since 1970. But we can change that! When we're more aware of the creatures around us, we care more and do more to protect them. So enjoy the birds in your own backyard by creating a backyard bird-feeding habitat with nutritious foods, and invite family and friends to join you. 🗓️ 🤓 You can also participate in citizen science locally during the Bentsen/Anzalduas Christmas Bird Count on Friday, January 3, 2025! See their post for details. This activity is part of Audubon's 125th Annual Christmas Bird Count. What a great way to kick off the new year! Then please join us Jan. 4th for our ‼️FREE TALK: "HOW TO HOST PURPLE MARTINS"‼️ to learn how to start your own colony of these cute, charming birds, which will start arriving mid- to late-February.
