Songbirds in winter flocks benefit from having other birds nearby. They can recognize warning signals from other species and follow them to sources of food. We think of BirdNote’s audience as our flock, and we’re much stronger together than as individuals. But every single member of the flock counts, and every action is important. Support from our listeners is what keeps BirdNote in the air and on the air. BirdNote is an independent nonprofit organization that relies on support from listeners like you. This week, we are asking you to keep us flying strong by making a donation now.

[Winter soundscape with bird calls]
In fall and winter, birds that might have spent the summers with just their mate gather into flocks. Many winter flocks include members of different species, banding together to brave the cold. Songbirds in these flocks benefit from having other birds nearby. They can recognize warning signals from other species and follow them to sources of food.

Much like birds in winter, people can do a lot to help each other. We think of BirdNote’s audience as our flock, and we’re much stronger together than as individuals. But every single member of the flock counts, and every action is important.
