Migration is a fascinating phenomenon. Not all birds do migrate, as permanent residents will not fly south in the winter and north in the spring; they stay within their territory all year. Other species might move shorter distances staying closer to their original territories, and still more species will fly much longer distances.

We are going to talk about the birds that do migrate, why, where and how in the United States.

On May 9th, Birding’s Biggest Day is Back!

Global Big Day is an annual celebration of the birds around you, and this year is no different. While not everyone may be able to leave home to bird this year, Global Big Day is still an opportunity to check in with the birds in and around where you live. Join us on 9 May and be a part of a global birding community by sharing what birds you see around you with eBird.

We each have stories about how this pandemic is affecting our lives; we are working from home, sheltering in place with our loved ones, using video conferencing for meetings and happy hours, and using screens and social media to simply stay connected, somehow.

Just when we need each other more than ever, we are told to stay apart. A cruel trick!

Here's something you can do from the comfort of your home and it could be lots of fun!

Extra time on your hands? Check out this FREE online birding course from our friends at Cornell’s School of Ornithology ~ Be A Better Birder: Size and Shape.
