Blue-winged Teal Pair | USFWS Migratory Birds

That's just ducky--the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission just approved nearly $24 million to protect over 100,000 acres of wetlands, conserve hundreds of species, like blue-winged teal. Lots of good work for wildlife ahead! https://bit.ly/2wGqKfkPhoto: Alex Galt/USFWS

White-headed Woodpecker

From USFWS Migratory Birds:

We work to conserve birds for the future, but it's not something we can do alone. Among many other partnerships, the Council for the Conservation of Migratory Birds brings together over twenty federal agencies to meet and discuss actions to protect birds. The U.S. Forest Service's work to help white-headed woodpeckers in the Pacific Northwest is just one of many examples.
