World Migratory Bird Day – Middle Creek Wildlife Managment Area

What started in 1993 as International Migratory Bird Day, under the auspice of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, was later named, as it is known as today as World Migratory Bird Day. This day was designed to highlight bird migration and conservation around the world, in addition to the wonders of, and threats to, the epic journeys carried out by birds each year. In fact, World Migratory Bird Day is actually a twice-a-year event. Why? Well, because many species of migrating birds do it twice, once in the spring and again in the fall. However, here at Middle Creek, we are looking to celebrate this event in the spring, on Saturday, May 11th.

Come to the Middle Creek Visitors Center to interact with many educational and conservation groups that will be educating on and promoting bird conservation. Whether local birding groups, research institutions, conservation organizations, or native plant landscapers, we hope will have a diverse array of groups and activities that will make it worth one’s while to come visit and learn more.
