The Nature Conservancy: Take the Backyard Birding Survey / Which Species Have Arrived…

WHICH BIRDS ARE IN YOUR BACKYARD

TAKE SURVEY »

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s that time of year again — spring migration is here. That means more than 3 billion birds are returning to the United States. You’ve probably noticed the merry melodies of birdsong outside of your window or seen increased activity in the branches of blooming trees.

If so, we want to know what birds are making an appearance in your yard. Take our backyard bird survey and tell us what species have arrived near you.

Whether you’re new to birding or a seasoned pro, now is the perfect time get outside and let the familiar sights and sounds of spring relax and inspire you. And we love to hear from nature-lovers like you about the birds in your neighborhood.

Which birds are you seeing in your community?

The best part is — you don’t need any special equipment or experience to be a birder! You just need to keep an eye to the trees, sky and grass and notice what’s around you. So, whether you’re gazing out of your window, walking around your yard or beyond — if you’re taking note of your winged visitors, you can call yourself a birder. How you do this is up to you, but we encourage you to challenge yourself and make it fun.

Take our backyard birding survey today and share nature’s sights and sounds from your window.

Thank you for your support and for all that you do for nature.

Sincerely,

Signature
Dave Strauss
Director of Membership
