International Migratory Bird Day 



Celebrating the Life Cycles of Migratory Birds

Celebrating 21 Years of IMBD


Eastern Meadowlark ©Wil HershbergerThis year, International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) will celebrate its 21st anniversary.  Started in 1993, the event is now hosted at over 500 sites throughout the Western Hemisphere, reaching literally hundreds of thousands of young people and adults.  As part of the 21st anniversary celebrations, this year’s theme focuses on the life cycles of our migratory birds.


Our fund raising efforts this year will benefit the Potomac Valley Audubon Society’s Grassland Birds Initiative, which is focused on protecting our grassland birds through conservation and enhanced land management practices.  For more information about the Grassland Birds Initiative, please see:
