Will We Make 600? |
Neither sequester nor furlough can stop International Migratory Bird Day from growing! The number of events has already increased almost 4%, from an estimated 570 in 2012 to over 590 in 2013. Information is still coming in, so check the IMBD Map and be sure your program is included!
The biggest increases occurred in Canada, with the help of partner Nature Canada, and in Latin America and the Caribbean, thanks to the efforts of regional coordinators.
Bird Day is Every Day! Events aren't over for the year, and partners to the south are welcoming back migratory birds at schools, community festivals, botanic gardens and more. November activities include more festivals in Honduras, programs at Garden of the Groves botanic garden on Grand Bahama for over 300 school children, and over 10 programs and festivals in Colombia.
