A typical summer sight is a male American Goldfinch flying over a meadow, flashing golden in the sun, calling “perchickory” as it bounds up and down in flight. In winter, when males and females alike don a subtler brown tone, flocks of goldfinches congregate in weedy fields and at feeders, filling the air with their soft, musical calls. But if climate change continues unchecked, these familiar favorites may become rarer as 65% of this bird’s current breeding range could be lost.

We’ve acted on behalf of birds for 120 years—and together, we’ve shown that there’s hope in action. Please be one of 15 bird lovers we’re counting on to start a monthly donation today, in honor of Giving Week, to help bring back climate-vulnerable birds like the American Goldfinch. Thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift could be matched, up to $10,000.
