Birdwatchers
Birds enrich America’s outdoor spaces and support a thriving recreation economy. In 2022, about 96 million Americans participated in birdwatching, generating \$279 billion in economic output. Pictured here are four birdwatchers exploring Patuxent Research Refuge.

USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center BSL-3 Laboratory
USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center BSL-3 LaboratoryThe BSL-3 complex at the USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center was purpose-built to serve our Nation’s needs. This facility has special engineering and design features for maintaining a safe environment when working with diseases that spread in the air. The facility is unusual in that it is designed to also be used for work with aquatic animals
