Years ago when I was a grad student, I made a silly t-shirt using iron-on letters. It read ‘Ornithophile’ to celebrate my love of birds. Whenever I wore it, I enjoyed the confused looks I got almost as much as the looks of recognition from fellow bird enthusiasts—like you!
Silly shirts aside, where the rubber meets the road for birds is how folks like you—the bird enthusiasts, habitat protectors, youth educators, citizen scientists, nature advocates—make a difference for birds. When you donate to Madison Audubon to protect and celebrate Wisconsin’s birds, it goes a LONG way.
