One of the most brilliantly colored songbirds, sighting a Baltimore Oriole is like spotting a blazing sunset with wings. But we mustn’t take their breathtaking presence for granted. After all, we’ve lost more than 3 billion birds in the past 50 years—including a steep 44 percent drop in Baltimore Oriole populations.
Today’s threats make Audubon’s decades-long advocacy on behalf of birds like the Baltimore Oriole especially critical. Right now, we’re prioritizing important habitat for native birds in our communities: from planting more than 800,000 native plants to supporting crucial legislation like the Migratory Birds of the Americas Conservation Enhancements Act. With rigorous research and more than a hundred years of working on behalf of birds, we know what it takes to ensure birds thrive today and tomorrow.
