Plain-English Summary

Congress would officially recognize the week of May 9-18, 2025, as "National American Birding Week" to celebrate bird watching and raise awareness about bird conservation. This symbolic designation aims to encourage Americans to observe and appreciate birds in their natural habitats while promoting environmental protection efforts. The recognition doesn't create new laws or funding but serves as a statement of support for birding as a recreational activity and conservation tool.
