This is Bird Note.

I'm Nick Byard, BirdNotes, Executive Director,

and this week we're asking you to support the show at birdnote.org.

When you fill your bird feeder, all things considered, it's a small part of your whole day,

but it means a lot to the birds that visit your yard.

You don't have to buy expensive binoculars or travel to faraway lands to be a birder.

You can enjoy birds wherever you are.

And you don't have to break the bank to support Birdnote.

Make a gift of any amount today at Birdnote.org to keep this show on the air for years to come.

Even $5 a month helps us create the stories that connect you to the joy of birds and nature.

Did you know that Bird Note is an independent nonprofit?

We provide our daily shows for free to all public radio stations, including this one, regardless of size or location.

The vast majority of Bird Notes funding comes from listeners like you.

It only takes a few minutes to support the show

and make a big difference for birds.

Donate for the first time

or renew your support today at birdnote.org.

Thank you for listening, and thank you for making Birdnote possible. Thank you for listening, and thank you for making Bird and Out possible.

I'm Nick Byard.
