                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. BRIAN K. FITZPATRICK

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 19, 2018

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, this year marks the 100th anniversary 
of the signing of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. This landmark law has 
protected cherished birds throughout North America while unifying 
environmentalists, hunters, and scientists for generations.
  In New Hope, Pennsylvania, supporters of environmental preservation 
are gathering at the Bucks County Audubon Society at Honey Hollow on 
December 19, 2018, to celebrate the ``Year of the Bird'' in honor of 
the centennial celebration of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
  It gives me immense pride to stand with them and their commitment to 
environmental stewardship for all animal species. As we celebrate the 
``Year of the Bird,'' let us remember the joy and beauty nature 
provides us, and strive for unifying goals of which the Migratory Bird 
Treaty Act is a prime model.
