Dear KAREN,

You might not see them, but step outside and you may hear the Rose-breasted Grosbeak's melodious song among the treetops. Sadly, these broad-chested beauties are experiencing a decline in the leafy Eastern forests where they nest in summer.

And unless we act together now, even more birds could vanish. Will you commit to their protection with a monthly gift today? We're counting on 64 bird lovers to join together before midnight tomorrow to unlock a special $5,000 gift from a generous group of donors.

The Rose-breasted Grosbeak is just one of many backyard birds suffering sustained losses. Audubon's 2021 Priority Birds Report found a 26% decline among the beloved birds in our communities—a loss of 51.2 million in the past 50 years alone.

And as you read this, climate change threatens two-thirds of all North American bird species with increasing risk of extinction. This is a code-red crisis—even for familiar favorites that seem to grace many of our bird feeders and backyards in abundance.

But with you by our side, we can take on climate change, maintain bird-friendly communities, and create a safer, brighter future for the birds we love.

A monthly gift is the very best way to protect birds for the long term. You'll provide steady, dependable support that Audubon can count on as we defend birds through empowering education, committed advocacy, and expert on-the-ground conservation—all driven by more than a century of pioneering science.

Please, be one of 64 caring friends we're relying on to start your monthly donation right away, while it will help unlock this powerful $5,000 gift. Remember, this special opportunity ends at midnight tomorrow.

Sincerely,

National Audubon Society
