Good news from Merced National Wildlife Refuge
From Tricolored Blackbird Program Manager Samantha Arthur:
Great news! There are TWO colonies of Tricolored Blackbirds nesting at our Merced National Refuge enhancement site with each group being roughly 5,000 birds. These breeding families are benefiting from the silage planted with funds raised from you during last years $5/5 Birds Campaign. Will you help us reach this year's goal? We are only $5,000 short of making our $15,000 match. You can make your gift here.
$5 Saves 5 Birds
We’ve done the math -- guaranteeing that a Tricolored Blackbird can fully fledge works out to about $1/bird. It’s a small price to pay to protect this beautiful species.
