Looking Underground: Why Birds Need Healthy Soils
What does healthy soil have to do with birds? Soil lays the foundation for the habitat of all land birds. Healthy (or unhealthy) soil can affect birds' food sources, reproduction, and more. Learn about the connection and how you can improve soil health in our new article.

New Art and Products Featuring Gunnison Sage-Grouse
Show your love of the Gunnison Sage-Grouse everywhere you go! Colorado-based artist Isa Catto featured this beloved species in her original artwork on high-quality prints, notebooks, silk scarves, tote bags and more. “I know my birding laid the foundation for being an artist,” she says. “It made me more observant, and I developed patience… I learned about color and nuance and how the animal world wields hue and camouflage.” See how this philosophy comes to life in her newest collection, created in collaboration with Audubon and The Birdsong Project!
