Societies The Lucy & John James
Audubon Society provides significant annual financial support
to Audubon Maryland-DC. All donors who give at least $1,000
per year to Audubon Maryland-DC are members of the Society.
Created in 2002 by the National Audubon Society, the Lucy
Society serves multiple purposes; to cultivate and educate
the prospective donor, raise funds to support the mission
of Audubon Maryland-DC and reaffirm the interconnection between
the missions of the National Audubon Society and regional
Audubon offices.

Gulf of Mexico between their wintering grounds and their nesting
areas.

Water bird ($5,000 - $9,999)
The northward range expansion of the
Glossy Ibis is a testament to conservation efforts that protect
water bird nesting islands from disturbance. This elegant
water bird began nesting in Maryland in 1956, since when it
has increased to 3,000 pairs.

 Raptor
($10,000 - $24,999)
Our national symbol, the Bald Eagle,
is one of the most spectacular avian inhabitants of the Chesapeake
Bay area. Although feeding primarily on fish, it also pursues
and catches ducks in flight with surprising agility for such
a large bird.

Great Egret ($25,000 and
above)
The long, white plumes on the head
of the Great Egret were nearly this species’ downfall
when thousands were killed in the late nineteenth century
to provide adornments for ladies hats. Following the Audubon
Society’s first conservation campaign, Federal legislation
in 1905 saved the Great Egret and allowed its populations
to recover.
