Celebrate the incredible journey of migratory birds and support migratory bird conservation. This family event is Free!
Ashland Parks & Recreation Department, Rogue Valley Audubon Society and the Klamath Bird Observatory will celebrate Migratory Bird Day on Saturday, May 10, from 8 am — noon at the North Mountain Park Nature Center, 620 North Mountain Avenue in Ashland.
The event will offer a variety of engaging outdoor learning activities for birders of all ages, abilities and sleep habits! Hourly guided walks will visit the mist netting and bird banding station to view migratory and resident birds up close and learn more about local conservation. ‘Bird-friendly’ shade-grown coffee will be served. Admire or sketch wild birds of prey from Wildlife Images Rehabilitation and Education Center. Plenty of fun activities will be offered for young bird enthusiasts.
This year’s theme is "Tropics to Tundra." Migratory birds travel long distances between breeding and non-breeding sites throughout the Western Hemisphere. In 2008, Migratory Bird Day will explore the birds that make these fantastic journeys, the habitats on which they depend and the people who are important to the conservation of birds and their habitats along the way.
