Festival

Sponsored by the city of Grand Prairie, Texas and the Purple Martin Landlords of North Texas, the 4th annual "Marty Party" celebrates World Migratory Bird Day 2017 with cultural and educational programs. This festival aims to educate people on the importance and conservation needs for the Purple Martin. As the largest swallow species in North America, the Purple Martin depends on human assistance to survive in migration stop-over areas in North Texas.

Our local arts and school communities are working with the Hobsons Bay Rangers to raise awareness about wetland habitats, the responsibility people have to care for those habitats and their place on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF). We'll be celebrating with music, stories, games and presentations.

A two day event, involving talks and birdwatching in the evening will be hosted in Finnmark, Norway. The main species we will highlight is the Lesser White-fronted Goose. On the second day there will be an excursion to some remote wader staging sites in Lille Porsangen (approximately a 350km car drive).

The Hellenic Ornithological Society/ BirdLife Greece participates at the Ecofestival of Serres with a 3-day event dedicated to migratory birds, with the Lesser White-fronted Goose in leading role!

Join us to get to know the migratory birds of Greece, the threats they face along their migratory routes and how we can all help to ensure safe flyways. We will create birdmasks, mobile figures and other handicrafts, as well play floor games to "fly" with the Lessers along their journey from the Arctic Circle to the Mediterranean!
