Remember those PSAs telling us to "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle"? Today's tip is: Reduce! Plastic takes more than 400 years to degrade, and numerous studies have shown birds and other wildlife ingest plastic. Give the birds a break and avoid single use plastics. #LiveBirdFriendly https://t.co/MbslP10vg2

We're in the middle of the northern migration in the Americas, and billions of birds are making their annual trip north to breed.
