Keeping Up With the Cardinals
February 27 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
When you hear the word “cardinal,” you probably think of one of the most widely recognized and beloved birds in the eastern U.S. – the Northern Cardinal. This beautiful red bird is the official state bird for seven states, not to mention the namesake of many sports teams! But did you know there are other cardinals in the Americas? Some are in the same family as the Northern Cardinal and others are cardinals by name only.
Join American Bird Conservancy for our free webinar on Thursday, February 27 at 4pm ET to learn more about the colorful and diverse cardinal family — and some of the specific species that ABC works to conserve.
The Pyrrhuloxia, for example, graces deserts in the U.S. Southwest and Mexico with its splashes of red and metallic chip-chip-chip call. In Argentina, the Endangered Yellow Cardinal shines bright in open woodlands and savannas, but with a population of fewer than 3,000 individuals, is a priority species for conservation.
I may be especially excited about this webinar, because I get to do even more of my favorite thing: talk about birds with you! I’ll be taking you on a tour of the wonderful world of cardinals, including sharing some surprising stories and fun facts. You’ll also hear from other ABC experts and partners, including:
- Binta Dixon, Targeted Advocacy Coordinator for the Western Region, ABC
- Rocío Lapido, Yellow Cardinal Project Coordinator
