Join the flock: Birds Need Us
Dear KAREN,

When a flock of birds migrates overhead, it's beautiful: all of them working in unison, supporting each other, pointing in the same direction. That's a lot like Audubon's new Giving Challenge—and we're asking you to expand our flock!

Birds Need Us is a brand-new month-long fundraising event, aiming to raise $100,000 for birds and the places they need between November 11th and December 2nd. You can start today by signing up and creating your fundraising page. It only takes minutes!

After you sign up, we'll be there to help you with tips to engage friends and family and raise critical funds for birds during the campaign: KAREN, birds are emblems of beauty and resilience in the natural world. But science tells us that many of them are facing a sustained decline. With 3 billion birds lost since 1970, it's never been clearer that Birds Need Us to act—and fast.

We can hit our goal by banding together to give birds the healthy habitats they need, safe passage as they migrate, and stronger policies and protections. Expand our fundraising flock today!
JOIN TODAY
P.S. Top fundraisers are eligible to win some awesome prizes like National Audubon Society field guides, tote bags, and calendars.

Lesser long-nosed bats at a hummingbird feeder in Arizona.
Community Scientists Are Saving Fanged Flyers
Trick or treat? The late-night visitors to your hummingbird feeders are likely not birds in Halloween costumes—they're bats! The nectar may be meant for avian visitors, but in the twilight hours, it is lesser long-nosed bats that feast on the sweet liquid. 

Back in 1988, fewer than 1,000 lesser long-nosed bats were thought to remain at 14 known roosts, prompting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to list the species as endangered. Although researchers had a sense of what was causing the bat's decline, efforts to recover the species faced a significant hurdle: Scientists lacked the basic information needed for effective conservation. That's when hummingbird fans in Arizona stepped in to help.

In honor of this nocturnal symbol of the season, learn more about how community scientists have been central to the recovery of lesser long-nosed bats.
Happy Halloween!
