World Migratory Bird Day
On World Migratory Bird Day, we slow down enough to notice the sky and the singers in it.

Celebration ideas by audience
For families
Start a bird-watching log — who shows up, where, when.
For kids
Build a bird feeder together out of pantry staples and a milk jug.
For couples
Pack a thermos and go on an actual bird walk together.
At the office
Plant a small pollinator-friendly planter outside the building — it attracts birds too.
At school
Pair the day with a unit on migration, habitat, or local ornithology.
In your community
Join or support a local Audubon chapter's education or conservation project.
On your own
Sit outside with coffee for 20 minutes and just listen.
