Expressing support for the designation of the week of May 8 through May 17, 2026, as "National American Birding Week".
Sponsored By: Representative Kaptur, Marcy [D-OH-9]
Introduced
Summary
National American Birding Week would be supported by this resolution to spotlight birdwatching, promote conservation, and highlight the pastime's economic role. It notes roughly 3.5 billion migratory birds of over 350 species move north each spring and that populations are declining from habitat loss, predation, and collisions with buildings, utility infrastructure, and vehicles. The resolution cites about 96 million American birders who spend almost $107 billion a year and help sustain roughly 1.4 million jobs, and it encourages public participation in events like the Biggest Week in American Birding.
