The Tufted Puffin’s bright orange beak, long golden plumes, and black and white mask have earned them the name "clown of the sea." But the threats facing these stocky seabirds are no joke: Rising ocean temperatures mean they are increasingly struggling to find the food they need to survive. From October 2016 through January 2017, a mass die-off struck thousands of birds. And these once-rare mortality events are now happening with increasing frequency.

In this code-red crisis, birds urgently need all the help they can get. Audubon will do our utmost to protect them—but we can’t do it without you. Will you commit to their protection with a monthly gift today? We’re counting on 29 bird lovers to join together right away to unlock a special $10,000 gift from a group of generous donors.
