WMBD 2021

SING, FLY, SOAR — LIKE A BIRD! WE HAVE A NEW WEBSITE: MIGRATORYBIRDDAY.ORG TO STAY UP TO DATE ON ALL 2021 WORLD MIGRATORY BIRD DAY INFORMATION, HEAD OVER TO THAT SITE! "Sing, Fly, Soar — Like a Bird!" is the theme of the 2021 World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD), the only international education program that celebrates the migration of hundreds of bird species between their nesting habitats in North America and wintering grounds in Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. During this year’s event, WMBD will inspire the activity of birdwatching, a past time enjoyed by some 86 million Americans, with deeper meaning. WMBD will teach participants at more than 700 locations from Argentina to Canada how to identify birds, how to connect with them, and how to delve deeper into bird biology, investigating such topics as the difference between birdsong and call, the mysteries of migration, and the astounding power of flight. From the chickadee to the crow, the mockingbird to the robin, this year’s WMBD will explore what makes birds unique and how and why so many of them make long migrations. With approximately 10,400 bird species globally and approximately 900 bird species in the United States, birds are ambassadors of the natural world. They help us connect with nature and understand the interconnections among all things. They sing. They fly. They are architects and acrobats. They are the only remaining wild animals to carry on in abundance despite development. They live in every habitat from urban to rural. Birding can take place in a city or in the wild, and birds can be watched from windows and in back yards. Now in its 27th year, WMBD has grown from a one-day event into a year-round framework underpinning hundreds of projects and programs. In the Western Hemisphere, World Migratory Bird Day is coordinated by Environment for the Americas, a Colorado-based nonprofit organization

that provides

bilingual educational materials and information about birds and bird conservation to raise awareness of migratory birds and to promote actions that protect them. WHEN IS WMBD? BIRD DAY IS EVERYDAY! WMBD is officially the second Saturday in May in Canada and the U.S. (May 8, 2021), and the second Saturday in October in Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean (October 9, 2021). Because birds have different schedules, however, we encourage you to host your program or event when participants will be most likely to see birds. World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD), the signature program of EFTA, is the only international education program that highlights and celebrates the migration of nearly 350 species of migratory birds between nesting habitats in North America and non-breeding grounds in Latin America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Each year WMBD explores a different aspect of migratory birds and their conservation. Learn more about bird day FAQs about World Migratory Bird Day. _Bird day is not just a day. Celebrate our migratory birds 365 days a year!_
