In the 1870’s, one women galvanized others in the fight against the wild bird feather trade Harriet Hemenway began the bird conservation movement. © USFWS

Power of Partnerships in Bird Conservation This year we celebrate birds and the people who have persevered for their conservation. A scientist in a whooping crane costume acts as the parent to the young whooping cranes. © International Crane Foundation

Our Shared Birds American Avocets at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. As many as 350 species migrate between nesting and non-breeding areas from Canada to South America. © FWS

Bird Conservation Across Boundaries Central flyway migration map. By Bolivar Chamber of Commerce, TX. Organizations, scientists, and individuals work together to conserve birds.

Wood Thrush In 1990, biologists gathered together to discuss the decline of migratory songbirds—notably the wood thrush. © Bob Petty

Partners in Flight Partners in Flight celebrates 20 years of working together for birds. This group of biologists formed Partners in Flight. They are dedicated to studying and conserving migratory birds.

Wood Thrush Concern for this species sparked programs that teach biologists the skills needed to monitor birds. © USFWS

Wood Duck Today, it is a conservation success story. The wood duck was on the brink of extinction in the 1900s. © Bob Petty

Wood Duck Partnership Volunteers check a wood duck nesting box. Today it is one of the most abundant waterfowl species in North America. Volunteers build wood duck nest boxes at St. Mark’s National Wildlife Refuge. Photos © USFWS

Rufous Hummingbird Like other pollinators, Rufous Hummingbirds are declining. Despite their popularity, little is known about hummingbirds. © Bob Petty

Partnerships for Hummingbirds © Ralph Hocken Concerned citizens and scientists are gathering vital information to help conserve this spectacular species.

Atlantic Puffin Early settlers hunted puffins for their meat and feathers. By 1901, 1 pair of puffins survived in Maine. © Bob Petty

Atlantic Puffin Partnership Thanks to dedicated partners, puffin numbers have increased from 1 pair to 600 pair today! © USFWS

Whooping Crane Crane populations fell from thousands to just 15 by the 1940’s. Habitat loss and over- hunting were the primary causes for their decline. © Bob Petty

Whooping Crane Partnership Thanks to partnerships the species is slowly recovering. Today there are 400 birds. © Operation Migration

Peregrine Falcon By 1975, falcon numbers had dropped from 4,000 to just 50. The pesticide DDT was the cause of this drastic decline. © Bob Petty

Peregrine Falcon Partnership Partners released 5100 captive young birds. Today, 3,300 adult birds live in the wild.

Northern Bobwhite Quail This favorite and once common game species is disappearing due to habitat loss. The bobwhite is known by its familiar “bob-white” call. © Bob Petty

Northern Bobwhite Quail Partnership Volunteers and biologists are working together to restore quail habitat. © USFWS.

Bobolink  Long-billed Curlew  Burrowing Owl These are grassland birds, and they depend on a disappearing habitat. © Bob Petty

Grassland Partnerships for Birds Private landowners are critical partners in the conservation of grassland bird species. Landowners are planning land management activities to ensure food, cover and shelter for grassland birds. © Seth Gallagher

White-Crowned Pigeon This bird is found throughout the Caribbean. It is a popular game species. © Bob Petty

White-Crowned Pigeon Partnerships Partners have worked together to shift the hunting season so that it does not coincide with breeding season. © Andrew Dobson

Tufted Jay This showy bird makes its home in the rugged mountains of northwestern Mexico. This bird is one of the last species to be discovered in Mexico. © Bob Petty

Partnerships for Tufted Jays To protect the Jay’s habitat from logging, local folks are working with conservation groups to diversify their income through ecotourism. Cabin for visitors. © Jennie Duberstein

‘I’Iwi (ee-ee-vee) This once common ‘ruby’ of Hawaii’s forest is now limited to high elevations of a few islands. Predation by non-native animals, habitat loss, and disease threaten this bird. © Bob Petty

Partnerships for the ‘I’Iwi © Jack Jeffrey This brilliant bird is threatened by Avian malaria spread by mosquitoes. Scientists are working to find ways to prevent the spread of mosquitoes.
