Condors and Vultures underway

B.L. Render, my original partner in the creation of Songbird Remix has agreed to come aboard and help me with the modeling on "Vultures". We're hoping for a late summer release. As birds are completed, they will show up in the Bird Library (for those who want a sneak peak.

REAL BIRDS from audubon.org

The Western Tanager, Wood Thrush, and Bobolink are all birds that spend their summers in North America and their winters in the warmer climates of Central and South America—part of a group of more than 300 bird species known as "neotropical migrants." More than 43% of neotropical migrants have experienced significant declines since systematic population surveys began in 1966. To save these songbirds, we need to support conservation efforts protecting their habitats in all the countries where they make stops along their migratory routes.

Urge your U.S. Representative to cosponsor HR 5756 to reauthorize the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act.

The Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act supports conservation programs protecting migratory birds through habitat preservation, education, and research programs. The program is a cooperative, international conservation effort in Canada, the United States, and Latin America. Each year, the number of applicants far exceeds the available funds. Congress needs to renew and expand this vital and cost-effective conservation program.

We need to act now to save our declining songbirds. The longer we delay, the more irreplaceable habitat will be lost.

Please urge your representative to support the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act and work to preserve the habitat of America's songbirds.
