An event designed to 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 celebrated Migratory Bird Day on Saturday, May 9, from 8 am—noon at the North Mountain
Park Nature Center, 620 North Mountain Avenue in Ashland.
The event offered a variety of engaging outdoor-learning activities for birders of all ages,
abilities and sleep habits! Participants tried their
skills in this year's bird-calling contest! The first annual contest took place from
10 to 10:30am. Click here to view contest rules. Hourly guided walks
visited 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 was served. Bird enthusiasts admired or sketched
wild birds of prey
from Wildlife Images Rehabilitation and Education
Center.
Plenty of fun activities were offered for young birders,
including a Coloring Contest!
