This is Bird Note.

It's our spring fundraising week, and listener support is what makes Bird Note possible.

So please do your part and make a donation at birdnote.org.

We get a lot of feedback from listeners, and we know that for many of you,

Bird Note is part of your everyday routine, like Michael and Patrick in San Francisco.

We not only love Bird Note, we crave Bird Note.

We have breakfast with Bird Note every morning and just could not imagine a day starting without it. When we travel,

we come back and we binge on all the episodes we've missed. And when you don't have time to listen,

you know Bird Note is here waiting for you when you're ready, like Marianne in Northern Wisconsin.

I'm very busy. I don't get to listen every day, but I would really miss something out there,

even if I can only listen three days a week or four days a week. Please keep them common.

Whether you tune in every day like clockwork, or you catch up on episodes over the weekend,

our show only exists because of listener support.

People just like you who give at birdnote.org.

It's been 20 years since Birdnote first hit the airwaves,

and we want to make sure we're around for many more years to come.

Do your part to help secure BirdNotes future by donating

now at Birdnote.org. And thank you. For Bird Note, I'm Michael Stein.
