Celebrating America’s Wildlife Legacy

Celebrate Endangered Species Day on May 20, 2011!

Endangered Species Day is an opportunity for people young and old to
learn about the importance of protecting endangered species and everyday
actions that people can take to help protect our nation’s disappearing
wildlife and last remaining open space. Protecting America’s wildlife
and plants today is a legacy we leave to our children and grandchildren,
so that all Americans can experience the rich variety of native species
that help to define our nation.

Started by the United States Senate, Endangered Species Day is the
third Friday in May. Every year, thousands of people throughout the
country celebrate Endangered Species Day at parks, wildlife refuges,
zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, libraries, schools and community
centers. You can participate in festivals, field trips, park tours,
community clean-ups, film showings, classroom presentations, and many
other fun and educational activities.

I thought of endangered species when I found the nest of my rare house finch pair on the ground, eggs broken. I almost cried.
