H.Res. 363 is a symbolic resolution expressing support for designating May 9-18, 2025, as "National American Birding Week." The resolution highlights that nearly 96 million Americans engage in birdwatching annually, spending over $107 billion on the activity and supporting approximately 1.4 million jobs. The bill acknowledges that migratory bird populations face serious threats from habitat loss, collisions with infrastructure, and other dangers, and it encourages participation in birding events like the Biggest Week in American Birding festival in Ohio to promote both bird conservation and economic development. Since this is a House resolution rather than legislation, it does not require funding, establish new programs, or create binding requirements—it simply expresses congressional support for recognizing and promoting birding as a conservation and economic activity.
