EBSPO is a non-profit organization that strives to protect endangered bird species. We believe that through education, conservation, and research, we can help these birds recover and thrive. Our work is vital for the future of these animals, and we are committed to our mission.
We offer several programs to help birds, including habitat restoration, nest box installation, and predator control. In addition, we provide resources to landowners and educators, so they can help protect birds in their own communities. We also work with lawmakers to create or improve laws that protect birds.
There are many endangered bird species in the world and they need our help. That’s why there is now an organization specifically devoted to protecting these beautiful creatures.
One of the main goals of EBSPO is to raise awareness about the dangers that face many bird species. Many people don’t realize that birds are in danger of becoming extinct, and this ignorance is a major threat to their survival.
Bald Eagles
The bald eagle is the national bird of the United States. Once on the brink of extinction, these birds have made a remarkable comeback in recent years. There are now more than 10,000 bald eagles in the U.S.
Bald eagles are large birds, with a wingspan of up to seven feet. They are mostly brown, with a white head and tail. These birds are powerful hunters and can take down prey as large as a deer.
Bald eagles mate for life, and both parents care for the young. They build their nests high in trees, often near water. Bald eagles are scavengers and will eat anything from fish to dead animals.
Bald eagles are an important part of our national heritage, and EBSPO is working hard to protect them for future generations.
Peregrine Falcons
The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal in the world, capable of reaching speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. These birds are predators and feed on a variety of small animals, including rodents, birds, and insects.
Peregrine falcons are the most common raptor in North America. They are found in all types of habitats, from cities to forests to deserts. Peregrine falcons live in colonies, and both parents take care of the young.
Peregrine falcons were once endangered due to the use of pesticides like DDT. However, thanks to conservation efforts, they are now considered to be a species of least concern. EBSPO is working to ensure that this trend continues.
Wood Storks
The wood stork is a large wading bird that is found in the wetlands of the southeastern United States. These birds are omnivorous, and eat a variety of items, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, and insects.
Wood storks are white with a black head and neck. They have a long bill that they use to catch prey. Wood storks are social birds and live in colonies of up to several thousand birds.
Wood storks were once common in the United States, but their populations have declined in recent years. There are now only about 10,000 wood storks in the country. EBSPO is working to protect these birds and help them recover.
Piping Plovers
The piping plover is a small shorebird that is found along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States. These birds are sand-colored with a black band across their chest. They have a long, thin bill that they use to catch prey.
Piping plovers live in pairs and build their nests on the beach. They lay four eggs at a time, and both parents help to care for the young. Piping plovers eat insects, crustaceans, and small fish.
Piping plovers are considered to be a threatened species. There are only about 26,000 of these birds left in the world. EBSPO is working to protect them and help them recover.
EBSPO also does important work in protecting bird habitats. They work with landowners and local governments to create preserves and sanctuaries for these animals. By doing this, they are helping to ensure that these birds will always have a safe place to live.
