Many of the species that sing to us all summer have winter homes farther south in Central or South America. Some birds pass through, and some settle in for the summer. Whatever their destination, May is a time of year to see many species in your parks. World Migratory Bird Day celebrates the diversity of birds that live among us and a reminder of our ability to protect these animals as they travel extraordinary distances each year.

On May 8th, we’ll host activities at the Frick Environmental Center to engage your larger-than-bird brain and celebrate World Migratory Bird Day with the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, Allegheny Bird Conservation Alliance, The Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, and Allegheny Goatscape. We will have various activities for learners of all ages, from fledgling to adult, that teaches ways to appreciate and help birds in our backyards.

*To ensure social distancing and safety, registration is required for each activity.*
