Expressing support for the designation of the week of May 9 through May 18, 2025, as "National American Birding Week".

This resolution expresses strong support for designating the week of May 9 through May 18, 2025 , as "National American Birding Week." It highlights the vast migration of bird species across the United States and acknowledges the significant threats these populations face from habitat loss, predation, and collisions. The resolution recognizes that birding is a popular pastime generating nearly $107 billion annually , creating 1.4 million jobs and substantial tax revenue. Furthermore, it applauds coordinated efforts by various entities, including federal, state, and local governments, conservation organizations, and businesses, to promote both migratory bird conservation and economic development through birding activities. The House encourages birders and the general public to attend events like the "Biggest Week in American Birding" to learn about bird migration and actively support ongoing efforts to preserve migratory bird populations.
