Every Hoot Helps: Celebrate International Owl Awareness Day!

What better way to celebrate than by committing to birds’ protection?

Great Horned Owl. It’s International Owl Awareness Day! And what better way to celebrate these majestic birds than by committing to their protection? Take the Great Horned Owl: With their intense, feline gaze, barred bodies, and fierce hunting skills, they’ve earned the nickname "tiger of the air." Bright yellow eyes, namesake "horns," and a stately silhouette make this storybook owl as iconic as it is formidable. Please give a hoot about these birds by starting an annual gift before midnight. When you adopt a Great Horned Owl now, you’ll receive a plush bird as our token of thanks, and your gift will automatically renew each year to provide the steadfast protection birds need. With more than 120 years of expertise under our wing, we’ve helped to bring many beloved species back from the brink. Using our proven combination of committed advocacy, empowering education, and expert on-the-ground conservation—all guided by research and grounded in our shared love for birds—we can give birds their best chance. Not just to survive, but to thrive. But our best work on behalf of birds depends on the support of people like you. Every hoot helps! Will you join us with an annual gift today to make a brighter future possible tomorrow?
