Rob, of course, wrote about this, but it deserves a little link love. National Audubon has launched a new addition to their Audubon at Home web section called Birds to Help. You can click on three types of landscapes: urban, suburban, and rural, and see a short list of common bird species found in those landscapes (examples of urban birds below, links not live). Each species has a one-page PDF of suggested ways you can provide for their needs.
I love this. People often want to do something constructive to assist birds, but are either overwhelmed by information or don't know where to look to begin with. Birds to Help offers pointed, accurate, manageable tips in a succinct, straightforward format. I often recommend the Audubon at Home web site as a source for similarly-styled advice on bird feeding, healthy yards, etc. Birds to Help is another great tool. Check it out.
