Tufted titmouse - a common bird seen
at bird feeders in northern Westchester County.

Birds are important indicators of environmental
quality and habitat conditions.

Audubon is often associated with birdwatching,
or birding, but bird conservation is our primary focus.

Birds are active year-round. Most are active during daylight hours. Birds come in a wide variety of colors. Birds make sounds. Birds fly. For these reasons and more, birds are the most visible form of wildlife and easiest to observe.

By watching and counting birds,
Audubon monitors environmental health.

Birding is the fasting growing recreational sport, and it's fun!
