International Migratory Bird Day is the signature education of Environment for the Americas (EFTA), program that highlights and celebrates the migration of migratory birds between in North America, Latin America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Each year there is a focus on a different aspect of migratory birds and their conservation. This year’s theme is Life Cycle of a Migratory Bird.


The event provides information and education materials about birds, bird conservation, and bird education to inspire people of all ages to get outdoors, learn about birds, and take part in their conservation. Bird educators, bird festival organizers, and birders find opportunities to connect ideas, create bird festivals and offer education close to home or across borders.
