Coming Up: The “Lightning Bird”

Sing, Fly, Soar — Like a Bird!

Every day is a day to celebrate birds!

On World Migratory Bird Day, October 9th, we honor the spectacular migrations of hummingbirds, shorebirds and countless songbirds, as they make their way to Latin America, Mexico and the Caribbean for the winter.

October 27th, we celebrate another way! Join BirdNote for a special virtual event highlighting these epic journeys and ancient seasonal rhythms. “Unraveling the Mysteries of Migration” features conversations about these magnificent migrations, the ways in which we can all support migratory birds, and answers some of our burning questions about the mysteries of migration.

Join this migration celebration with panelists Scott Weidensaul, author of A World on the Wing, Marcela Castellino, Flyway Conservation Specialist with Manomet, and Julia Wang from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
