Tundra to Tropics: Connecting Birds, Habitats, and People

Join the celebration!

Migratory birds travel long distances between breeding and non-breeding sites throughout the Western Hemisphere. In 2008, IMBD will explore the birds that make these fantastic journeys, the habitats on which they depend, and the people who are important to the conservation of birds and their habitats along the way. 

International Migratory Bird Day is officially celebrated on the second Saturday in May in the U.S. and Canada. While most events will take place on May 10, 2008, we encourage you to organize your program, event, or festival when it best suits you and the birds. IMBD materials are not dated and may be used year-round.

In Latin America and the Caribbean, IMBD is celebrated in the fall, when migratory birds have returned to non-breeding grounds. So no matter where you are in the Western Hemisphere, you might find an IMBD event near you!

The 2008 theme provides a wonderful opportunity to recognize the important habitats in your locale and the groups and individuals that contribute to their protection. Explore what each habitat offers migratory birds, whether it is a place to rest, a nesting site, or a winter home. 

Contribute to conservation and win at the same time.
For each donation of $5, you will be entered into a drawing to win the original IMBD 2008 artwork. All proceeds will benefit La Tangara, the newsletter of the International Working Group of Partners in Flight. This newsletter is recognized as a critical information exchange mechanism for Neotropical bird conservation. The number of subscribers and the need for this communication has grown, and we are excited to become partners in its success. Please lend a hand!
