Midnight Deadline: Give protection for birds, get a gift for you!

Snowy Owl.

Today is the last day to ensure the next issue of Audubon magazine is delivered straight to your door! For decades we’ve told stories that have fostered people’s love of birds—and as one of our most dedicated supporters, we want to ensure you can share in that joy for years to come. Each quarterly edition delivers essential news, advice, and reporting on birds and bird conservation. In the midst of 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. Start your annual gift before midnight to protect birds and receive Audubon magazine free as our thanks.

If we fail to act, many beloved birds—including the Snowy Owl—may not survive a future impacted by climate change. 93% of the icy tundra where they nest and breed could become too warm to support them. With the Arctic warming at four times the global average, we must flock together to bring birds back before it’s too late. That’s why, with your support, we’re working to halt, and ultimately reverse, the decline of birds across the Americas. And through Audubon magazine, you’ll see the story unfold: the challenges birds face, and the hope your generosity helps create. Start your annual gift now and claim your special free Audubon magazine. But hurry! The deadline to ensure you receive the winter issue is midnight tonight. Sincerely, National Audubon Society

Guess the Bird with 3 Clues! Will you fall for our latest round of "Who's That Bird?" Using the silhouetted image above and the three hints below, can you name this bird? Clue #1: This mystery bird's signature hunting strategy is the high dive, plunging headlong into the water in pursuit of fish. Clue #2: Contrary to common lore, these birds do not store fish in their beaks. Clue #3: From 1970 until 2009, this bird was listed as an endangered species after falling victim to DDT, a pesticide that caused birds to produce thin eggshells.  Here's a bonus hint: This bird's four-letter banding code, which researchers often use as shorthand for species' names, is BRPE. Click here to learn more about this bird and reveal the answer.
