If you stop to think about it, birds are our most direct connection to
nature. Their songs delight us, their journeys capture our imagination.
Birds are the wildlife we interact with the most. But that bond is breaking.
Each year more and more of them succumb to a host of threats: pesticides,
the loss of habitat, climate change, and the biggest urban threat of all,
cats.
