The large, stocky White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) is a familiar sight in backyards and around bird feeders across the eastern United States from late fall to mid-spring, and its trilling “Oh Sweet Canada” song rings out all through winter. Adults have bright yellow lores (the space between the eye and the bill), which add a touch of color to the winter landscape during its nonbreeding season. Striped crowns and whitish or white throats are other important identification features.

Also known as: Peabody Bird, Loneliness Bird, White-throat

This video is a tool to introduce our partners, field practitioners, and the general public to the step-by-step process of preparing, deploying, and retrieving Autonomous Recording Units (ARUs) for bird and biodiversity monitoring. ARUs are an emerging technology that allows conservation teams to collect continuous, high-quality acoustic data across large landscapes while reducing costs. By walking viewers through practical field techniques, key equipment considerations, and best practices for data collection, this video aims to serve as an accessible starting point for anyone interested in using ARUs to advance biodiversity research,

American Bird Conservancy is working with cacao farmers across Latin America and the Caribbean to promote bird-friendly Conservation Practices that protect migratory and resident bird species while strengthening rural livelihoods. By supporting shade-grown cacao, restoring native tree diversity, maintaining riparian corridors, and improving soil health through practices like organic fertilization, these farms become habitat for wildlife and more resilient to climate change. Our approach conserves birds and other biodiversity, while helping producers increase productivity, reduce climate risks, and access premium markets for sustainably grown cacao, creating a win-win for people
