SUMMARY:World Migratory Bird Day: Guided Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate World Migratory Bird Day with the WLT and expert ornithologists by getting outside and experiencing the spring migration.\n\n\nWorld Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) is an annual awareness-raising campaign highlighting the need for the conservation of migratory birds and their habitats. It has a global outreach and is an effective tool to help raise global awareness of the threats faced by migratory birds\, their ecological importance\, and the need for international cooperation to conserve them (worldmigratorybirdday.org/about). \nJoin us as we welcome back the neo-tropical migrants as they return to their summer territories — from thrushes to warblers\, bluebirds to tanagers and beyond. This years WMBD theme is water- groups will observe birds across a variety of habitats\, including wetlands and learn about the importance of water to birds and beyond. \nDon’t forget to bring your binoculars! We will meet at Barlow Nature Preserve. Groups will head out to different WLT properties and gather back at Barlow to share our counts\, stories and coffee and snacks. \n\nRegistration required\, spots are limited.\nFREE for members\, $10 for not-yet-members.\nNot a member and would like to be? CLICK HERE!\n\n——————————————————————————————————————- \nFrom World Migratory Bird Day 2023 \nWater: Sustaining Bird Life \nWater is fundamental to life on our planet. The vast majority of migratory birds rely on aquatic ecosystems during their life cycles. Inland and coastal wetlands\, rivers\, lakes\, streams\, marshes\, and ponds are all vital for feeding\, drinking\, or nesting\, and also as places to rest and refuel during their long journeys. \nUnfortunately\, aquatic ecosystems are becoming increasingly threatened around the world and so are the migratory birds that depend on them. The increasing human demand for water\, as well as pollution and climate change\, are having a direct impact on the availability of clean water and the conservation status of many migratory birds.
