2X Match Active [Double Your Impact]
The Long-tailed Duck is far more vocal than most ducks, and loud, melodious calls of flocks can be heard from some distance in the high Arctic. But this sea duck is highly vulnerable to rapidly warming waters that are disrupting and depleting the crucial marine food resources it needs across its range. They’ve lost more than half of their populations in the past 50 years, and need immediate conservation action if we are to bring these birds back.

So, this World Migratory Bird Day, we’re turning to caring bird lovers like you for help: Please soar to their defense by starting an annual donation right away, while your first gift could go 2X as far to power our best work on behalf of birds.

The situation is dire, but because birds have been telling us for quite some time that we must take action—and because we’ve listened—we’re already protecting vulnerable birds in every landscape where we work. With more than 120 years of expertise and caring bird lovers like you behind our efforts, we’re giving species a better chance at survival. Together, we’re transforming our ability to work effectively across the hemisphere through our Migratory Bird Initiative (MBI); restoring and improving the resilience of important landscapes; successfully advocating for climate legislation at the state and federal levels; and securing the natural spaces, clean air, and clean water that birds and people need to live and thrive.

Home Is Where the Nest Is

The bird housing market is rough, too. There aren’t enough hollows in dead trees, cracks in old buildings, and other natural cavities to go around. Help provide a safe place for birds to raise young this nesting season! We have birdhouses built for a range of species—from bluebirds to wrens—that are designed with bird safety in mind. Check out Audubon birdhouses.
