The theme for this year's World Migratory Bird Day is Shared Spaces: Creating Bird Friendly Cities and Communities.

Bird Walks

Audubon Kzoo will lead two informative bird walks, offering attendees the opportunity to learn about local bird species and the incredible migratory patterns that shape their journeys. The first bird walk begins at 11 a.m., and the second walk starts at 1 p.m. Bring your binoculars if you have them and your enthusiasm for bird watching! Extra binoculars will also be available to use.
