Birdwatching

We decided to hold an event on World Migratory Bird Day, including birdwatching, educational activities and online programs.

We will organize the WMBD event at Chukh lake, and entirely based on Chukh Bird Research Station. It is vital to organize WMBD event among the local kids and herder families at Chukh Lake, in northeastern Mongolia which is an important stopover site for many species of migratory birds especially for shorebirds. We are very excited to lead on this celebration! Let's enjoy with us. 

Here in Golden we are blessed to live next to the Columbia River Wetlands, a key resting stop for thousands of migratory birds. Wildsight Golden loves birds and birdwatching so we will celebrate this day buy hosting two bird walk events with our amazing naturalists.

Spring migration is almost at its peak, so join a naturalist and enjoy our feathered friends visiting Lake County Parks. We will explore the mature forest treetops at Stoney Run to end our series on World Migratory Bird Day. Please dress for the weather, as trails will be wet this time of year. PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED; please call 219-844-3188.

Join us Friday May 7 and Saturday May 8 as we celebrate World Migratory Bird Day 2021 at Mount St Francis.  Friday evening includes supper, a live raptor presentation by Leslie Grow from Dwight Chamberlain Raptor Center and a guided birdwatching night hike by local naturalist Rod Goforth.  Saturday morning includes guided hike, discussion, breakfast and door prizes.  For more information or to register, please visit our web site www.mountsaintfrancis.org/migratory-birds or call 812-923-8817.  Mount St Francis is 400 wooded acres

Se realizarán tres talleres dirijidos a personas de comunidad, para dar a conocer las aves migratorias que llegan al parque nacional Lagunas de Montebello, dentro de este taller se incluye una presentación, una actividad lúdica y un recorrido corto de observación de aves, además de colocará una exposición fotográfica con aves migratorias que se hayan encontrado en el área y también algunas residentes para que se pueda hacer una comparación.

Join the Washington Square Park Eco Projects and learn how to find the Chimney Swifts that may live near you! We will explore photos and videos, learn about Chimney Swift behavior, discuss threats to Chimney Swifts and possible conservation actions. Chimney Swifts are a lesser known urban bird, which are listed as vulnerable. They nest and roost in NYC and other Eastern U.S. urban centers. They provide imporant ecological services such as eating dangerous mosquitoes, which can cause disease. You can help Chimney Swifts!

I will be visiting the El Zapotal community on Wednesday October 28th to train local birding guides to lead tours and to introduce them to the Ebird App and Merlin to record bird species in their area.  This is the beginning of a long-term program of at least two years.

In October 28 we spent about three hours introducing two local guides to ebird

Bird migration is one of the great wonders of the natural world. Migration is a huge feat of endurance requiring great strength and stamina. However, today birds face additional threats caused by human activity. Hungry, exhausted birds may arrive at a stopover site, only to find that it has been destroyed by farming or urbanisation. Every year, millions of birds are illegally killed by hunters, or collide with man-made structures such as powerlines. Climate change is causing habitats to shift or disappear.

Salem Ornithological Foundation has planned to conduct bird watching field trips in the Shevaroy hills of the Eastern Ghats and the wetlands present in the foothills on 10th and 11th of October 2020. The trip will be led by one our lead birders and educators, Ms Angeline Mano. All necessary COVID-19 precautions issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu will be strictly followed.
