Birdwatching

They’re back! Mark the return of many fine feathered friends as we celebrate World Migratory Bird Day with an educational talk and hike for families at the Boyd Woods Audubon Sanctuary. On this walk, led by Kent Center School Science Teacher Josh Szwed and LHAS President Marie Kennedy, we’ll learn about migration flyways, marvel at some migratory champions, and learn how you can help give returning birds a warm welcome! We’ll meet at the parking lot, make our way to the bird blind, and learn about the theme for this year’s World Migratory Bird Day.

The United States Forest Service will partner with the Meeker School District to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day for the 20th consecutive year. Mary Cunningham, Biological Scientist on the Blanco Ranger District of the White River National Forest, will present the 2022 PPT presentation to students in grades 4-8 at Meeker Elementary and Barone Middle Schools to explore the theme 'Dim the Lights for Birds at Night'. All students will go on bird walks from 8-10 AM each morning beginning on April 26 through May 12.

Join us at Sabino Canyon for an evening walk in celebration of World Migratory Bird Day! This year’s theme for WMBD is focused on light pollution and its effect on birds. Did you know that many birds migrate only during the night? Come discover why as we celebrate the night sky, and spring migration, look for nocturnal birds and reptiles, and enjoy the beauty of the Sonoran Desert on a warm evening! Fee required for parking ($8) at Sabino Canyon. Registration on Tucson Audubon Website required

About this event

Steinaker State Park and the Division of Wildlife Resources are hosting an all-day celebration of World Migratory Bird Day on May 14, 2022, at Steinaker State Park near Vernal.

Event schedule

Aceh has a fairly large coastline, with the eastern part of Aceh bordering Thailand and Malaysia, the Indian Ocean, and Andaman Islands. The strategic location strongly supports the presence of migratory birds internationally along the East Asia-Australasian Flyway (EAAF). From the results of research conducted by Van Mrie & Voous (1988); Crossland (2000); Iqbal et al (2010); Iqbal et al (2013); Putra et al (2019); Iqbal et al (2020), they recorded 42 species of coastal birds that migrated along the east coast of Aceh province.

We're in one of the most famous areas for birdwatching, in the middle of the route of migrating birds of prey that cross the Strait of Gibraltar from Africa and are headed to Europe for nesting. 

Together with our ornithologist, we'll walk from Arenzano to the Scarpeggin hut and during the trekking we'll learn about habits, routes, and journeys of the various species that we'll observe during the day.

World Migratory Bird Day is an annual event for educating the public about the urgent conservation needs of migratory birds and their habitats. On Saturday, May 14, join Pipestone National Monument for a fun and informative day of activities for the whole family! 

Wildlife Science and Conservation Center is a leading nature conservation and research organization in Mongolia, and we always considered the World Migratory Bird Day as an important annual event for our public engagement and education. We regularly celebrated the WMBD with the support from EAAFP and other partners. In 2022, we are planning to host WMBD events at two bird ringing stations located eastern and eastern Mongolia. These ringing stations are run by WSCC and dedicated to the songbird migration monitoring and public awareness for Mongolia.
