Crazy About Birds?

Birds are pretty amazing and great way to get to know the nature around you. Below are some of our favorite resources on how to help birds out while you get to know them. 

• Audubon Native Plants Database – Help birds by planting native plants that they like. Enter your zip code and filter by your interests and constraints. You can make a difference!
• Merlin Bird ID App – Just getting started or honing your ear to bird song? Merlin is that app for you. Best thing? It is free with no ads!
• Turn Off Your Lights – Light pollution harms birds. Find out about bird migration and why “Lights Out” is bird friendly. 
• North Carolina Bird Atlas – Out birding on the regular? Join a statewide effort to document the birds of NC. 
• Looking for fellow bird nerds? Try these folks: Birders of the Tuckaseegee Watershed &  Carolina Bird Club.

If you think what the Balsam Mountain Trust is doing is worthwhile, consider a donation to help support us. In the meantime, enjoy them birds!
