Fang-tastic October Wildlife News Curated Just for YouIs it just us, or are things getting a little spooky this time of year?

While some of these scares are in good fun, we’re also dealing with the
terrifying news that North American birds have been vanishing at an alarming
rate. Recent studies suggest that 3 billion birds have vanished from our skies
since 1970. This news is the canary in the coal mine of a larger wildlife
crisis. We must stand up and take action, or be faced with the sound of silence
as even more birds disappear from our skies.

Already, thousands of friends of wildlife have acted to support key programs
like the Recovering America's Wildlife Act that will help vulnerable birds and
other at-risk wildlife recover. We need your help today to help wildlife recover
and thrive.

Please donate what you can today. Any amount can help make a difference in this
fight.

only costume needed to rule the holiday.(But, OWL bet you haven’t thought of
these BAT-ty costumes inspired by creepy critters!)
