Hello Birders,
The Bird Banding Lab (BBL) and Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) are housed in the
USGS Ecosystems Mission Area – a division that is now under threat.
Proposed budget cuts would severely weaken or eliminate these programs,
undermining bird conservation, habitat protection, and the scientific data
that birds, habitats, and people depend on.
I just received this one-click email to my congresspeople from the American
Bird Conservancy (ABC). After submitting your pre-authored/customizable
letter, the final page displays a solicitation for the ABC. There's no need
to make a donation, but they are a good organization that does great work
to help birds.
