Fall is the Time to Plant for Birds

Fall is the best time to put more bird-friendly native plants in the ground. This year, Audubon has made it even easier to select plants that will work for your yard. Browse the Native Plant Database to find native plants that help birds right where you live.

Get growing today.

Clean Out Nest Boxes and Share Who Nested There

Fall is a great time to clean out your nest boxes. Remove the old nesting material and help your nuthatches have a cozy winter. And please take five minutes to let us know who nested in your boxes. Your data will help us identify occupancy rates and understand how much we’re helping this priority bird.

Learn more about nuthatches.

2016 Bird of the Year: Chimney Swift

It’s been a busy season celebrating our 2016 Bird of the Year, the Chimney Swift! Most swifts have migrated south for the winter, but there are plenty of ways to protect the places they need to thrive. Start a Swift Tower construction project in your community to ensure they have a place to roost when they return to our state next spring.

Learn more about Swift Towers.
