International Migratory Bird Day October 17, 2015: Restore Habitat, Restore Birds
International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) celebrates one of
the most important and spectacular events in the Americas: bird
migration. Since 1993, IMBD has fostered bird conservation and
education, and has introduced countless youths and adults to migratory
birds. The event, hosted at over 700 sites, serves as a call to action
to preserve birds and their habitats.
Birds don’t migrate on a single day. So while IMBD’s
official date is the second Saturday in May for the U.S. and Canada, and
the second Saturday in October for Latin America and the Caribbean,
Bird Day activities take place year-round, and events are best offered
when migratory birds are present. IMBD is coordinated by Environment for the Americas.
