Toribird Tips: Latino Conservation Week/Semana Latina de la Conservación

July 15, 2021

Hello nature lovers, it's Toribird here to tell you all about Latino Conservation Week! This year, it will take place from July 17-25. It provides an opportunity for Latinos to connect and demonstrate our love for the outdoors and interest in conservation. The week is filled with fun activities, from a photo contest to guided nature walks and free entry to parks across the country. Here at The Woodlands, we're going to celebrate with a series of bilingual posts exploring Cornell's Seven Simple Actions to Help Birds on our Facebook page throughout the week!

If you wish to explore even more about local birding and bird conservation, then these blog posts are perfect for you: "Migration and a Call to Action" explores the dramatic decline of birds in recent years and also covers the Seven Simple Actions. As it's still summer and many birds are raising young, you can visit "Studying Breeding Birds at The Woodlands" to read about the breeding birds of the area. Finally, "Great News for Philly's Migrant Birds" is all about Philadelphia's wonderful "Lights Out" program that protects the migrating birds that pass through the city.

This post about Latino Conservation Week would not be complete without mentioning the Kaufman "Guia de Campo a las Aves de Norteamérica" (Field Guide to the Birds of North America). This is the only field guide to birds of our area that has been translated into Spanish. If this sounds like the type of book that you would love to own, you can purchase it here. If you would like to help make this great resource available to a larger community, the Black Swamp Bird Observatory of Ohio has a "Donate the Guia" program where you pay for a copy of the book which is then donated to an organization that will put it to good use.

I hope you're as excited as I am to dive into a week of bilingual exploration of the ways we can take care of the nature around us that we all love!

¡Hola amantes de la naturaleza, soy Toribird! Quiero hablarles sobre la Semana Latina de la Conservación! Este año, será del 17 al 25 de Julio. Es una oportunidad para que los Latinos nos conectemos y demostremos nuestra pasión por la naturaleza. La semana está llena de actividades, incluyendo un concurso de fotografía, caminatas guiadas, y acceso gratis a parques. Aquí en los Woodlands, vamos a celebrar con una serie de publicaciones bilingües en nuestra página de Facebook explorando las Siete Acciones Simples para Ayudar a las Aves que Cornell propone!

Si usted quiere explorar aún más sobre las aves locales y cómo protegerlas, estos artículos son perfectos para usted: "Migration and a Call to Action" explora el declive rápido de las aves en los últimos años, y también habla sobre las Siete Acciones Simples. Como todavía es verano y muchas aves actualmente están criando a sus bebés, puedes visitar "Studying Breeding Birds at The Woodlands" para leer sobre las aves que anidan en los Woodlands. Finalmente, "Great News for Philly's Migrant Birds" es sobre el programa fabuloso de "Luces Apagadas" que protege a las aves migratorias que pasan por Filadelfia.

Este artículo sobre la Semana Latina de la Conservación no estaría completo sin mencionar la "Guia de Campo a las Aves de Norteamérica" por Kaufman. Esta es la primera y única guía sobre las aves de nuestra área que se haya traducido al Español. Si le fascina la idea de este libro y le gustaría comprarlo, puede ordenarlo aquí. Si a usted le gustaría ayudar a que este valioso recurso esté al alcance de una comunidad más grande, el Black Swamp Bird Observatory de Ohio tiene un programa de "Donar la Guia" en donde usted paga por una copia del libro que será donado a una organización que le dará buen uso.

Espero que esté tan emocionado como yo para empezar una semana de exploración bilingüe de las maneras en que podemos cuidar la naturaleza alrededor de nosotros que todos amamos!
