International Migratory Bird Day occurs on the second Saturday in May in the U.S. and Canada and on the second Saturday in October in Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean each year.
But we recognize that this date doesn't work well for all bird events, bird festival organizers, or migratory birds.
To the south, migratory birds have left, heading for breeding sites to the north. Farther north, the birds haven't arrived. We remedied this problem by removing the month and day from our bird education and festival materials, leaving only the year, and reminding groups every day is bird day.
Now, IMBD is celebrated almost year-round.
Most US and Canadian events occur in April and May, while fall events are the norm in the Caribbean and Latin America.
Public awareness and concern are crucial components of migratory bird conservation. Citizens who are enthusiastic about birds, informed about threats, and empowered to become involved in addressing those threats can significantly contribute to maintaining healthy bird populations. By modeling what can be done and involving people, their interest and involvement in stewardship can grow.
One of the most successful vehicles for public education on migratory birds is International Migratory Bird Day(IMBD). Across the Americas, Bird Day events are great ways to get involved.
