Whether you're new to birding or a seasoned pro, we would love to have you and join together to raise awareness for migratory bird conservation.

In 2018, the non-profit, Environment for the Americas (EFTA), joined with two other bird conservation groups to create a campaign called “World Migratory Bird Day” (WMBD). The EFTA works to connect people to “bird conservation through education and research.”

WMBD highlights three major migratory bird corridors: the African-Eurasian, the East Asian-Australasian, and the Americas flyway. All over the world, on May 9th, events and programs are held in these respective regions to raise awareness for the conservation of migratory birds and the protection of their habitats.

In our own region, migratory birds, like yellow-rumped warblers, Swainson’s thrushes, ruby-crowned kinglets, and painted buntings spend this time moving through the area, either returning from their wintering habitat or for a pit-stop on their journey further north to rest and eat.

To help celebrate WMBD, our outreach team is hosting a “World Migratory Bird Day Count” on May 8th, a day early, at three different locations. Pick one you’d like to attend, sign up at the link, and join Travis County staff to explore one of the following birding sites: the Vireo Ridge area on the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve (BCP), the Kotrla tract, or Reimer’s Ranch. Whether you're new to birding or a seasoned pro, we would love to have you and join together to raise awareness for migratory bird conservation.

Every year, volunteers at the Spring Cleanup remove confetti, wrappers, cigarette butts, bottle caps, and tiny plastics from parks and waterways east of Austin. These items may seem small, but they cause big problems for wildlife and water quality.

📍 Cleanup sites: East Austin, Del Valle, Manor, Pflugerville, Webberville
