Forty-seven of the bird species in need of help conservation-wise spend time in New York. That’s according to Audubon and the American Bird Conservancy. Those feathered individuals are included on WatchList 2007, which was released today. Overall, 217 bird species are in danger across the U.S.
Three of NY’s threatened birds earn a spot on the “red list” because they face a greater risk of extinction: piping plover, Bicknell’s thrush and Henslow’s sparrow. Identification of bird species in peril, the organizations point out, is the first step in helping to save them.
