IMBD 2011 ~ Go Wild, Go Birding!
|
 Go Wild, Go Birding! is the IMBD 2011
theme, and we have lots in store for you. Be sure to visit our web site regularly to find new activities, downloadable materials, information, and more that you can use to spice up your program or event.
Currently underway is development of our 24-page youth field and activity journal, a publication that will benefit any young person getting started in birdwatching. We are also excited to announce that writer and birder extraordinaire, Kenn Kaufman, will be sharing his thoughts about the importance of engaging new bird enthusiasts in the text on the back of the 2011 poster.

We stumbled across a priceless memory of Bird Days past when we found the sheet music to Happy Bird Day. In the 1950's, school children celebrated Bird Day with a school holiday and bird-related activities. With permission from Alfred Publishing, we are able to provide the sheet music on the web, along with an audio example sung by EFTA staff member Courtney Carlson and her daughter Kaylen.
