Earlier this summer Audubon released a report on common birds in decline. Now Audubon has produced Birds to Help--a resource suggesting birds that homeowners and other private landowners can help in urban, suburban, and rural areas. While these aren't all the birds that need help, these are some of the birds that landowners can most easily help. They also represent birds that need help to thrive in most residential areas--so they are a good place to start if you want to help local birds.For each of the thirty birds to help, there is a printable "recipe" telling what the species needs and how you can provide those needs. Lots of good information on these birds. In the future we look forward to providing habitat guidelines for additional species as well.
I've been working on this project for a couple years and am glad to see it finally online. Eventually we envision folks being able to enter their zip code and get an even more targeted list of birds to help in their specific region. Until then, here's a start. Check it out and find a bird to help in your yard or on your property today!

Hi! I tagged you with a Birding Meme. Hope you find the questions interesting. Check it out here -- http://earthhouseholder.blogspot.com/2007/08/birding-meme.html
Thanks for the link to the Birds to Help site. I think this is a great effort in working to make a difference in the future based upon what was certainly a quite unsettling initial report. You should be very proud to be a part of such a worthwhile project.
Rob, looks cool. I noticed the links on the left navigation panel aren't working. I wasn't sure where to leave this comment. Hopefully you can get this info to the right person.
Thanks Matthew, we're working on those links!
