September 6, 2014 is the first World Shorebirds Day. People can take part in the The Global Shorebird Counting Program. During the weekend of 6-7 September wildlife artists visit their favorite spots for sketching shorebirds and can have them posted at the World Shorebirds Site
The Spoon-billed Sandpiper is the ‘Shorebird of the Year’. Fundraising efforts will focus on this species in peril.
