Seeing a bird you haven't seen before is one of the great surprises and pleasures of life.
Birds are a source of fascination for children around the world.
No other animal represents a freedom of spirit and movement more elegantly than a gliding bird. Among naturalists and bird watchers throughout the world, taking inventory of our bird species is a calling of the highest order. There are hundreds of thousands of volunteers in this ongoing pursuit. As we approach the third millennium, the work must continue. There are no insignificant species of birds.
