Join BirdNote tomorrow, November 30th!
Illustrator David Sibley and actor H. Jon Benjamin will face off in the bird illustration battle of the century during BirdNote's Year-end Celebration and Auction!
As part of our fundraising week, we’re sharing a clip from our podcast, Bring Birds Back. Because of listener support, we’re able to take our time and make long-form episodes that dig a little deeper.
BirdNote®
Listeners Help Us Delve Deeper
Written by Conor Gearin
This is BirdNote. I’m Jazzi Johnson, Managing Editor of our long-form projects, and this week, we’re highlighting the importance of listener support in keeping BirdNote in the air and on the air.
As an independent nonprofit organization, BirdNote relies entirely on donations from listeners like you. And with your help, we’re able to create long-form stories that both inform and entertain — like this clip exploring the Herring Gull colony on the green roof of the Javits Center in New York City:
Myles Davis: Look at this. See, they're learning how to fly right now.
Purbita Saha: Oh!
[HERRING GULLS]
Myles Davis: Oh, They got it. They got it.
That’s a clip from our podcast, Bring Birds Back, where we delve deep into conservation issues and empower listeners to make a difference. It’s a big undertaking with a small team, but that doesn’t stop us from being ambitious and tackling big topics from habitat loss to environmental justice and more.
By supporting BirdNote with a donation today, you can help us continue producing this daily radio show — now in its 20th year — as well as our podcasts, articles, and interactive events. Please visit BirdNote dot org today to make a donation of any amount.
That’s BirdNote dot org to donate today.
