Last year, Audubon California Excutive Director Graham Chisholm went to Myanmar to look for the rare Spoon-billed Sandpiper and found a wonderful bird in dire need of conservation help. Audubon has since joined an international partnership of concerned conservationists looking to protect this wonderful species. Birding icon David Sibley is one of those looking to help, and he is auctioning off an original work of his art to raise money for the effort. If you don't want to bid on the art, you can still use his website to make a donation to the cause. After the jump is a video describing Chisholm's visit to Myanmar that includes some terrific video shot by Sibley on a different trip.
