This year, why not make some New Year’s resolutions that will actually be fun to keep?

Here are a couple suggestions for making 2017 a great year for you and for birds!

• Become a better birder with a bird-a-day challenge.

• Take up a new bird-related hobby like photography.

• Protect birds at home by growing native plants.

• Solve some of your difficult ID questions once and for all with our ID Tips.

  First up: House Finch vs. Purple Finch.

• Speak up for birds this year, starting with urging your U.S. Senators to ensure the

  next head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will protect birds and people.
