Natural History Wanderings

 Migratory Bird Day was created by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center in 1993. Since then, several alliances have been built to help further migratory bird conservation around the globe. This worldwide campaign is organized around the planet’s major migratory bird corridors, the African-Eurasian, the East Asian-Australasian, and the Americas. There are many things we can do from our homes to support migratory birds, including buying bird friendly coffee and other bird friendly products, helping to reduce building lights at night to assist bird migration, and spreading the word to friends and family about why we should protect migratory birds! Here are seven simple actions you can take right now to help protect migratory birds in 2020 and beyond.
