Many backyard birds are clever food hiders, or “cachers,” storing seeds, nuts and even insects in tree crevices, under bark or in the ground to eat later! 🌳🥜 These smart birds use landmarks, the sun and even each other to keep track of their stashes, helping them survive tough winters and busy seasons. ❄️☀️ Watching them work is like seeing a tiny treasure hunt happen in your backyard! 🔍✨

We take our coffee bold, with a double shot of conservation!
☕🌳
For International Coffee Day, let’s get down to the grind about what’s behind the beans. Shade-grown coffee is grown beneath a canopy of native trees, providing important habitat for birds and other wildlife. In contrast, coffee grown in full sun can mean removing trees that birds depend on.
Bird-friendly farming practices can help create additional habitat birds need, including corridors between forests, giving birds critical places to rest and refuel.
And because coffee isn’t going anywhere — and neither are the farms that grow it — supporting bird-friendly practices helps make working landscapes more habitat-friendly… one bean at a time.

So today, pour a little conservation in your cup. Support American Bird Conservancy with a gift of $100+ or $15/month, and we'll send you a bag of Smithsonian-certified Bird Friendly® Birds & Beans Coffee! Plus, all gifts of $40 or more means you'll receive ABC's "Bold for Birds" T-shirt!

As we celebrate birds this migration season, it’s critical to remember the threats that can make their migrations perilous.

Artificial lights and skyglow can be fatal to migrating birds, especially when paired with potential window collisions. Pledge in the comments to stand with us as we call on excess lighting to be turned off to help ensure birds have a safe passage.

Turn out the lights tonight, it’s going to be another huge night for migrating birds!

The windows in our homes and offices can be hazardous for birds. Birds cannot readily distinguish the presence of a pane of transparent glass from an unobstructed space or passageway and often fly into window panes causing injury or death. Click here to learn more: www.wbu.com/window-strikes

🍂Fall migration turns your backyard into a potential pit stop for birds on the move, and a few smart tweaks can make it irresistible! 🌿✨

🌻 Leave seed-producing plants standing to provide natural food sources.
🌳 Add a brush pile or two for shelter and protection.
🐦Create low-lying feeding areas where ground-feeding birds feel comfortable.
🧼Clean and repair feeders, and make sure they’re easy to refill during the winter months.
🔄 Keep food fresh and consistent—even in small amounts—so passing birds remember your yard as a reliable stop along their journey.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the First Day of Autumn is Tuesday, September 22. That's when the length of day and night are almost the same. Be sure your feeders are ready for some hungry birds that are either preparing or recharging for the longer nights.

The Blue Jay shown is an example of a North American bird working hard to find the additional calories needed to make it through autumn's longer hours of darkness. Which birds are visiting your backyard this season? Share in the comments.
