We at Birders United are delighted with the response our website has received. Our site has been featured on local television news programs, in major newspapers across the nation, and at a wide range of websites.

But by far the most effective means of spreading the word about our site has been through the electronic version of “word of mouth.” Using their e-mail address books, birders across the country have been telling their friends about our site by what amounts to an electronic chain letter.

If you tell 10 friends about Birders United and they in turn tell 10 of their friends, and so on, very soon thousands and thousands of people will be able to see our site. This electronic chain letter has the potential to spread news of our site like wildfire to birders across the Web and around the world.

So if you like what you see here at BirdersUnited.com, please help spread the word. And don't forget to include people who you might think are supporters of the president. This is an important group that also must be reached with the truth about how the Bush Administration has done serious damage to the nation's birds and particularly to the areas where they nest.

 

 

Visitors to BirdersUnited.com have inquired about the size and potential political influence of birders in the United States.

The short answer is: HUGE!

According to a new U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service report, there are 46 million birders across America who spent $32 billion in 2001 “pursuing what has become one of America ’s most popular outdoor activities.”
