2013 Rogue Valley Bird Day Celebration

“Life Cycle of Migratory Birds: Conservation Across the Americas”
at North Mountain Park in Ashland

Saturday, May 11, 8:00 am to noon


Rogue Valley Bird Day is the local celebration of International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD), which celebrates one of the most important and spectacular events in the life of a migratory bird—its journey between wintering and breeding grounds. This year's theme will focus on what birds are doing at various times of the year (nest, migrating, overwintering) and the importance of conservation efforts along every step of their journey.

Wildlife Images Logo Join us on Saturday, May 11, from 8:00 am to noon, to celebrate! Enjoy… Wildlife Images exhibits, guided bird walks, shade-grown coffee, and a
bird-calling contest for all ages. This outdoor event is admission-free and takes place at North Mountain Park, 620 N Mountain Avenue, Ashland.
