Spring migration is underway. Across
the country, millions of birds are on the move-traveling
thousands of miles and stopping to rest and refuel along the
way.
Many of those stopping points are places Trust for Public Land has
helped protect.
For more than 50 years, TPL has conserved forests, coastlines,
grasslands, mountains, and parks that serve as critical habitats along
migratory routes.

These places aren't just beautiful-they're
essential. Wild bird populations in the United States and Canada have
dropped by nearly one-third since 1970, largely due to habitat loss.
From coastal refuges in Maine to river corridors in Georgia and desert
landscapes in New Mexico, TPL has helped protect places where birds
thrive.

This weekend, some of our team will be out early-binoculars in
hand-birding at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Delaware,
which TPL helped expand by adding more than 250 acres.

Here's what's inspiring our TPL birders:

Keith Maley: "When I was four years old, I saw my spark bird. It was a
ring-necked pheasant (shown above) under my neighbor Mary's bird
feeder. I am obsessed with their colors, size, and tameness."
Ronda Lee Chapman

Ronda Lee Chapman: "My favorite bird is the northern flicker (shown
above). They are abundant in Denver and visit me often throughout my
days. I love their call and how beautiful they are."
Taj Schottland

Taj Schottland: "Hearing bird song has been shown to reduce stress and
anxiety. And new research this year shows that learning about birds
and becoming an expert birder can 'reshape your brain and might help
protect it from aging.'"
Jeff Danter

Jeff Danter: "My favorite TPL-protected birding spot is the
Chattahoochee RiverLands. This green oasis that runs through the heart
of suburban Atlanta is a natural migration corridor that fills with
the songs of hundreds of species every spring."
For our birders, it's not just about what they
see-it's about slowing down and experiencing these places
in a deeper way. Want to give it a try?

This Saturday is World Migratory Bird Day, and people around the world
will be stepping outside to observe birds as part of the Cornell Lab
of Ornithology's Global Big Day.
Step outside. Listen. Look up. You might be surprised
by what you find.
See you out there,
