This is BirdNote.

We're at the end of our fundraising week, and if you haven't already pitched in,

please consider doing so now at birdnote.org.

We often hear from listeners that Birdnote has changed the way they see and interact with the world around them.

And it's had that impact for those of us who helped make the show, too.

For example, since I produced our episode with U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limon,

I tear up a little every time I hear the song of a white-throated sparrow.

Thinking about Ada's poem, Sparrow, what did you say?

And I've realized that those sparrows are everywhere in my neighborhood.

There is so much life and song and joy out there waiting for you to just listen for it.

Bird note is an invitation to nature's concert.

And listener support is what makes this possible.

Every dollar from every listener makes a difference.

Just go to birdnote.org and make a gift today.

If Birdnote has changed how you hear the world, please donate at birdnote.org.

Thank you from all of us at Birdnote.
