In
partnership with the National Wildlife Federation and the Piedmont Park
Conservancy, the Atlanta Audubon Society will host Birds in the Park, a
family-oriented educational program taking place in Piedmont Park on
Saturday, May 10, from 9 AM to 1 PM. This event coincides with
International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD), a nation-wide celebration of
nearly 350 species of migratory birds, their fantastic journeys between
nesting habitats and non-breeding grounds, and conservation efforts
throughout the United States and Latin America.
This free event for families, youth, and adults features activities for all ages including—
How to create a backyard habitat
During this event, Atlanta Audubon Master Birders, naturalists, and local conservation organizations will lead talks and interactive sessions on backyard birds, birding basics, habitat, migration, bird-friendly plants, and more.
To volunteer for this event, please contact Sue Sturges at sturgess@nwf.org or Marge Igyarto at igyar@earthlink.net or Courtney Smith at csmith@piedmontpark.org
IMBD was created in 1993 by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center and the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology and is now under the direction of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Celebrations are held throughout the western hemisphere during spring in Canada and the U.S. and in the fall in Mexico and Central America.
