On May 30th 2021, A few enthusiasts went to watch the birds of Salehieh Wetland in Alborz province / Iran. Due to the Corona pandemic, we participated in this event by mask and observe the distance, which was actually organized by the Tarlan Ornithological Association on the occasion of the International Day of Migratory Birds.

We will do birdwatching in Police Park which is located in east of Tehran / Iran on 7 May 2021.

Arenzano heights are the ideal meeting point for celebrating World Migratory Bird Day: here thousands of birds of prey, like the Honey Buzzards, pass through on their way from Africa to Europe to nest. However, they are not the only ones still migrating: we will observe Booted Eagles, Hawks, Kites and young Short-toed Eagles flying across the Beigua’s sky following one of the most important migration routes.

We decided to hold an event on World Migratory Bird Day, including birdwatching, educational activities and online programs.

We will organize the WMBD event at Chukh lake, and entirely based on Chukh Bird Research Station. It is vital to organize WMBD event among the local kids and herder families at Chukh Lake, in northeastern Mongolia which is an important stopover site for many species of migratory birds especially for shorebirds. We are very excited to lead on this celebration! Let's enjoy with us. 

Here in Golden we are blessed to live next to the Columbia River Wetlands, a key resting stop for thousands of migratory birds. Wildsight Golden loves birds and birdwatching so we will celebrate this day buy hosting two bird walk events with our amazing naturalists.
