Did You Know…Bluebird on Bermuda’s $2 Bill

We recently learned that Bermuda’s $2 bill features stunning art of an Eastern Bluebird!

Bermuda is not shown as within the Eastern Bluebird’s range according to Cornell’s All About Birds site, Eastern Bluebirds do, in fact, live in Bermuda. Sightings have been submitted to eBird from Bermuda in the past five years and one of our Board members spent 3 years living there and can report that they are residents of Bermuda.

New Online Process for NABS Memberships, Donations, Sponsorships and More!

New Online Process for NABS Memberships, Donations, Sponsorships and More!

We’re very excited to announce our recent transition to a new platform for accepting Memberships, Sponsorships, Donations, and DVD/Digital Presentation Material sales online!

As of today we are up and running with a platform called Zeffy. Zeffy is a charitable arm of Stripe Pay, a popular tool used by businesses to accept online sales of services and merchandise.

When it came time to find a new online platform for our processes, we had a few goals in mind:

  • Simplicity: Our previous process involved two steps for our members and other visitors to the site. 1. Fill out a form 2. Pay through PayPal. Many of our visitors gave feedback that this was a confusing and time-consuming process, and sometimes it would prevent people from successfully joining the North American Bluebird Society.
  • Affordability: As a non-profit organization that relies on donations and memberships to sustain us, we want to be sure we are getting the best value possible and spending our dollars wisely.
  • Safety: Of course we needed something that was 100% safe and secure to our members who provide personal and banking or credit card information to us online.
  • Versatility: We wanted a platform that was flexible and could potentially be used for multiple purposes.

For all those reasons and more, Zeffy was the right choice for us!

If you are a new visitor to the North American Bluebird Society website and are considering becoming a member, please check out our online membership form for more details and to sign up!

Existing members – good news! It’s easy to renew your NABS membership online, too. The membership form asks if your membership is a renewal. To process your renewal quickly, using the online form is the best option.

And finally if you wish to submit a Sponsorship, or if you want to purchase our presentation materials (Powerpoint, scripts, and fact sheets) that’s available on our website now as well.

We hope you enjoy this new process as much as we do. It is extremely efficient and user-friendly. Please contact if you encounter any trouble with any of the online forms on the website.
