North American bird populations have declined 29% in the last 50 years. What are the causes? What you can do individually and collectively to reverse this trend. Let’s explore the reasons for this precipitous loss and learn what we can do to arrest the vanishing of birds (and insects) from our natural world.

Larry Zoller taught science and environmental education for 40 years in the Maryland public school system. He is the past President of Wake Audubon and is the current Wake Audubon Educational Outreach Chairperson. He and his wife, Diane, have traveled to all the continents to observe birds. He hikes daily in Wake County Parks for exercise and enjoying the natural world. Larry advocates for birds because “What is Good for Birds is Good for Us, too!”
