National Bird Day - January 5th!
It's almost here -- National Bird Day!
It can be easy to get caught up in devastating environmental news (there's so much we can do to protect wildlife and the environment!), but it's also important to celebrate nature and find solace in it.
January 5th is National Bird Day. "One of the main purposes of National Bird Day is to draw attention to the plight of birds that are at risk of extinction due to various threats such as habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and poaching. By recognizing these threats and taking action to address them, we can help protect these beautiful creatures for future generations," reports Happy Eco News.
This is a great chance to search for local birding events to participate in or just take time outside listening to birds and appreciating their beauty. Have fun!
