While temperatures outside are slowly, slowly starting to feel spring-like, we know spring is here as the birds are chirping away. This Saturday, May 9th, is World Migratory Bird Day! World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) celebrates and brings attention to one of the most important and spectacular events in the Americas – bird migration. The theme of WMBD this year is “Birds Connect Our World”. To learn more about bird migration and WMBD, take a look at the website.
