For Valentines Day, we invite you to share the love! This week, Audubon NC is releasing a series of Valentines Day e-cards on Facebook for you birders to share with your "love birds."

Please "share" with that special someone on Facebook and consider donating $15 in his or her honor to help protect the beautiful and diverse birds that inhabit North Carolina. Your contribution to Audubon NC translates into conservation in action, supporting the vital work of managing and protecting 19 coastal sanctuaries, monitoring the status of bird populations in 96 Important Bird Areas, protecting the largest colony of beach-nesting least terns in the state, protecting imperiled bird species such as the piping plover and so much more. Nothing could be sweeter this Valentines Day!

Visit the Audubon NC Facebook page to participate -- the first e-card will be posted Tuesday!
