I think that was my oldest daughter\u2019s first word. I know that sounds weird, but whatever! Birds bring joy to our lives. They welcome us in the early morning with their loud and lively cacophony (mishmash) of sounds like an annoying alarm clock. This \u201cdawn song\u201d, as some scientists call it, is a lovely reminder of life.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, our songbirds are diminishing in numbers. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, 40% of songbirds have vanished since 1970. But don\u2019t despair. In addition to numerous societies and organizations fighting to preserve their habitats not only for nesting but migrating, we as everyday folk can also do our part to help save the birds.
