Are crows really our friends? Why do birds fly in a v formation? Do birds in the tropics have a breeding season—or do they just mate all of the time? Where can you find the answers to all of these questions? In Audubon magazine, of course! Amid this code-red climate crisis, with one-third of U.S. bird species in need of conservation action, there’s no better time to stay informed on the issues birds face and learn what inspiring people are doing to protect them. When you become an annual supporter today, we’ll send you the latest in bird and conservation news in our exclusive, award-winning magazine as a token of our appreciation. Will you join the 375,000 Audubon donors and claim your free Audubon magazine today? Start your annual gift now to ensure you get the next issue straight to your door!

When you flip through the pages of Audubon magazine, you’ll see both the challenges and the hopeful progress that your generosity makes possible. For Tipping Point species like the Rufous Hummingbird—which has shown long-term population losses and accelerated recent declines within the past decade—your support couldn’t come at a more critical time. With more than 120 years of conservation expertise under our wing, we know what it takes to protect the birds we love. Our comprehensive program of research, advocacy, education, and hands-on conservation is a powerful force in preventing future extinctions and helping declining populations recover.

But our best work on behalf of birds depends on the steadfast support of people like you. So please, protect birds with an annual gift right away while you can still receive the next issue of Audubon magazine as our thanks. Your gift will renew each year to provide the dependable support our teams need.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
