Hi BCN friends:
As many of you know, the American Bird Conservancy ( www.abcbirds.org
<http://www.abcbirds.org/> ) is the only bird conservation group in the
Americas whose work is exclusively devoted to the protection of birds and
their habitats.
Now, an impartial charity ranking organization, Charity Navigator, gave them
a 4-star rating and put them in their current top ten list of lesser-known
non-profits. If there were a way to rank program performance, I think they
would rank even higher
Check out this link:
http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm/bay/topten.detail/lstid/7.htm
Membership starts at $18.00 a year so if you are not yet a member, it is a
wonderful way to support conservation. It is also a great Christmas gift
for any birder (see their website, above).
