Expressing support for the designation of the week of May 9 through May 18, 2025, as "National American Birding Week".
Sponsored By: Representative Kaptur, Marcy [D-OH-9]
Introduced
Summary
National American Birding Week designation would set May 9 through May 18, 2025 as a week to celebrate birdwatching and to spotlight conservation needs. The resolution cites about 3.5 billion migratory birds that travel north each spring and notes populations are declining from habitat loss, predation, and collisions with buildings, utility infrastructure, and vehicles. It highlights birding's economic footprint of roughly $107 billion in annual spending and 1.4 million jobs, praises coordinated conservation and outreach efforts, and encourages the public to attend events like the Biggest Week in American Birding to support migration conservation.
