Description
A Memorial Field Guide for the Birds
The quietude Rachel Carson foresaw in her seminal book, Silent Spring, is spreading through our world as birds disappear. In the United States, we have "lost" 3 billion birds since 1970 and bird populations are continuing to decline globally. One avian species is going extinct each year. Who still misses their songs and grace? Help by: Drinking bird-friendly coffee and supporting The Bird Conservation Alliance.
