We Need Birds and Birds Need Us!

Chicago Audubon Society is kicking off their 2020 Membership drive with the theme I Need Birds Because… by requesting their audience - members and non-members - to submit photos of themselves and/or birds with an explanation of why they need birds.

Submit your photo to: Antonio@ChicagoAudubon.org, tag us #INeedBirds or #chicagoaudubon on IG or Twitter, or post on our Facebook group.

The goal is to better understand why we all need birds.

And, birds need us! Chicago Audubon Society is dedicated to connecting people with birds through community outreach, education, research, programs, bird walks, habitat restoration, and conservation advocacy. Help us help birds - support Chicago Audubon by becoming a member now!

The Chicago Audubon Society is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, separate from the National Audubon Society. We suggest joining both.
