Ä¢¹½Av

It's been a rough month and a half for people who love birds and exploring the outdoors, and at times it felt like we were going to miss spring migration altogether. But as everyone adjusted to staying at home and social distancing, Ä¢¹½Av staff across the country used these new challenges as opportunities to reach people where they are—in their homes and backyards and online.

The effort took a lot of ingenuity, dedication, and a willingness to experiment, but the results were wildly popular and were well-worth the effort to create them. We’ve gathered a few of our favorite examples of digital creativity from around the Ä¢¹½Av network, from birdy ASMR to virtual snack hours to informative webinars.
