You can help birds near you beat the heat with Audubon birdbaths! Our birdbaths offer both beauty and function: the elegant multi-colored tiles will reflect the light and play off the water to attract a variety of birds. Explore our bird baths.

Help turn the tide for birds ahead of World Oceans Day. Double your impact now.

Join us with an annual gift while your first gift could be matched.

Help turn the tide for birds ahead of World Oceans Day. Double your impact now. Long-tailed Duck. Don’t leave birds high and dry. Your first annual gift matched ahead of World Oceans Day. KAREN, the oceans are changing at an unprecedented pace—and birds are paying the price. According to the latest State of the Birds report, one-third of all sea ducks are now classified as Tipping Point species, including the beloved Long-tailed Duck. That means this iconic species is showing long-term population losses and accelerated declines within the past decade—leaving them highly vulnerable to rapidly warming waters that are disrupting and depleting the crucial marine food resources they need across their expansive range. We must act immediately to protect nearshore coastal habitats and halt these devastating trends. So, ahead of World Oceans Day, please join us with an annual gift while your first gift could be matched, up to $20,000, to protect coastal wildlife and the habitat they need. As rapidly warming waters disrupt the vital marine food webs that seabirds rely on, these accelerating declines signal broader, dangerous ecological shifts that affect the health of our oceans, coastlines, and the environments we share. But KAREN, we are not without hope. On behalf of birds and guided by science, we continue to work for practical and effective solutions to address the urgent and interconnected problems of climate change and habitat degradation. And by protecting essential nearshore coastal habitats and pushing for climate solutions, we are securing a safer future for marine birds. But we must do more while there’s still time to turn the tide for sea ducks—and for that, we need you. Start your annual donation right away while your first gift can still go twice as far for birds and the places they need.
