Each spring, flocks of American Golden-Plovers sweep across the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley—their striking breeding plumage flashing in the sunlight as they forage in open fields and prairies, far from water. Yet this familiar spectacle is fading fast: these beloved birds have lost more than half their population over the past 50 years and accelerated declines within the past decade.
Birds need all of us to flock together for their protection, so we’ve set an ambitious goal of 1,000 new monthly donors by Giving Tuesday. When you join our efforts ahead of Giving Tuesday, you give the American Golden-Plover—and all birds—their best chance at survival. We still need 110 more friends to start a monthly gift before midnight to keep pace with our goal. With just hours to go, will you be one of them?
