Make an even greater impact for birds ahead of World Migratory Bird Day

Bobolink.

Fluttering over meadows and hayfields in summer, the male Bobolink is striking and unmistakable with his white back, black chest, and light-yellow cap. Each year, they embark on a more than 12,000-mile journey to and from South America—an epic migration that sparks awe and wonder. But this remarkable songbird is in trouble. Climate change and a dramatic loss of grassland habitat have driven this once-thriving species into a steep decline, pushing them to a critical tipping point. These birds can’t ask for your help. So we’re asking for them: Will you start your annual gift ahead of World Migratory Bird Day while your first gift could be matched, up to $30,000, thanks to a group of generous donors?

If climate change continues unchecked, 88% of the Bobolink’s current breeding range could be lost. 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 advancing policies that safeguard critical habitats, collaborating across hemispheres, and building climate resilience for people and communities. It comes down to this: Where we work—and when you help—birds are better off. But with so much at stake, we can and must do more while there’s still time. Please start your annual donation today to provide uninterrupted resources our teams can depend on to defend birds year after year. Remember: Your first gift could go 2X as far—but only until midnight tomorrow! Sincerely, National Audubon Society
