With spring migration under way, we're all witnessing some of the
most spectacular sights of the year. In honor of spring migration,
the Boreal Songbird Initiative has posted its new guide to Boreal
Birds (www.borealbirds.org/birds.html), the most extensive resource
on the Web to learn about the birds that rely on the Boreal Forest.

BSI has also provided a link to the new report by Dr. Peter Blancher
of Bird Studies Canada that shows us the Boreal Forest is more
important to birds than anyone had previously imagined. Nearly 50%
of the continent's bird species depend on the Boreal!

Take a look at BSI's new website. With its new bird guide and
migration map (www.borealbirds.org/mig_map_main.html), BSI has
turned its website into a great resource for birders around the
country.
