Festival

Our chapter will be celebrating our second annual World Migratory Bird Day on this day with the global theme “Dim the Lights for Birds at Night” to focus on the impacts of light pollution on migratory birds.
The University of Illinois Extension and the Freeport Public Library will also be part of this event! We will also have bird treats from The Cookie Jar bakery!

From 1:30-2:30 p.m., visitors can take a tour of the zoo's veterinary clinic and learn about the work done to rehabilitate birds of prey.

Many of the raptors, or birds of prey, that the zoo takes in are migratory birds and are only passing through, Zoo Curator Ashley Burdick notes. The zoo attempts to rehabilitate injured raptors in hopes that they can then be released into the wild. Those who can't sometimes take up permanent residence at the zoo.

Sunday afternoon, visitors can meet one of the zoo's very own migratory birds, a Mississippi kite named Penelope.

This is the first festival celebrated at the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve, the program will be aimed at all ages.

Descripción del evento: El Décimo festival a Tláloc, es una celebración que se realiza en el cerro de Xolox, en el municipio de Tecámac al norte del estado de México. Durante la celebración se realizarán pláticas enfocadas a conocer las interacciones que tienen las aves con recursos florales importantes en la región, como es el caso del maguey pulquero (Agave salmiana), que inicia su periodo de floración en los meses de marzo-abril y hasta julio cuando inicia el proceso de producción de semilla.

Each spring, birds begin their journey north. Wood ducks, osprey, bluebirds, tanagers and more fly thousands of miles each year – some passing through Minnesota, and some staying here to nest for the summer. Birders of all skills will find activities and hikes to enjoy for the day. Watch as a bird bander places small bands on the legs of songbirds, meet raptors up close, take a hike with a naturalist to find spring migrants in the woods and fields, and create some bird-themed artwork. Binoculars will be available to use for the day.
