Black Swamp Bird Observatory is happy to announce our partnership with 1% for the Planet, an alliance of over 1,380 member companies in 43 countries that give one percent of revenues to environmental causes.

 

BSBO is now eligible to receive donations from 1% member companies, placing them among a diverse, global network of environmental organizations. 1% member businesses fuel this non-profit network through their annual contributions, which totaled over $22 million in 2010. Partnership with 1% greatly expands the potential pool of funding to which the Observatory can look to for support. Find out more about 1% for the Planet HERE.

 


Blackpoll Warbler
This year alone, BSBO’s research team banded more than 15,000 birds. Every encounter with these feathered wonders of migration is special, but one Blackpoll Warbler we encountered this fall really blew us all away. Read more about this astounding bird, and find out how you can help support BSBO’s work on behalf of birds, HERE.
