As we wind up 2012 and prepare to welcome 2013, Lauree from New Hampshire has a great question for our final Mailbag Monday of the year...

"I love birding and try to take good care of my backyard birds, but I always want to do more. Since it's the time of year to make goals, how can I add birding to my resolutions?"

There are plenty of great new year's resolutions for birders to make, from providing better birdseed to creating a certified wildlife habitat to joining birding organizations to help promote bird conservation. Share your new year's birding goals in the comments, and let's all make 2013 a better birding year!

Happy New Year 2013
