NEWS THIS MONTH
This is really all that matters now. Please give what you can.
CITIZEN SCIENCE
Count backyard birds (like this purple finch) for Cornell University with Project FeederWatch. If you feed the birds in winter, or want to, you can record your feathered guests and help ornithologists identify and understand population changes. There is a $15 participation fee, but you get clear (easy) instructions, identification help and more. I'm in my 7th year with this enjoyable program.
COOL SITE OF THE MONTH
This organization runs 5 wildlife parks, including the Bronx Zoo, and has supported conservation efforts for more than 100 years, though thoroughly modern online resources include news features, movies of rare gorillas and a very cool interactive map. And find suggests of how you, too, can save wildlife.
