World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) is May 14, 2022. This year’s campaign highlights the impact of light pollution on migratory birds with the theme “Dim the Lights for Birds at Night.” Join us on May 5 for a WMBD virtual workshop led by Greg Butcher, ASNV Vice-President and Migratory Species Coordinator for U.S. Forest Service International Programs. In the workshop, Greg will share simple steps that everyone can take to reduce light pollution and help birds. The workshop also will introduce you to an upcoming citizen science project, the 31st annual World Migratory Bird Day Count, scheduled for May 14 at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge. This program is free but registration is required, and donations are appreciated.
