SUMMARY:International Migratory Bird Day
DESCRIPTION:When birds migrate between nesting and wintering sites\, they don’t just stop anywhere; they rely on a handful of resource-rich and strategically located sites where they may double their body weight as they acquire the energy-rich fat stores needed to fly thousands of kilometers across continents and oceans. These places are known as stopover sites. Some stopover sites are well known\, such as along the coasts of Louisiana\, New Jersey\, and the Upper Bay of Panama\, where birds stop after traveling along the shoreline. Others are inland\, such as Venezuela’s grasslands\, wetlands in the central United States\, and even urban parks and backyards. \nIn 2017\, Environment for the Americas invites you to join their celebration of the importance of stopover sites and their habitats. Whether you learn about a stopover site near your home\, visit one far away\, or create a safe place for birds in your backyard\, your support can mean a safe journey for a migratory bird. Join the celebration!

SUMMARY:Open House at Capital City Bird Sanctuary Celebrating International Migratory Bird Day
DESCRIPTION:Please join us from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. on Saturday\, May 13 for a spring open house as we celebrate International Migratory Bird Day at Capital City Bird Sanctuary\, featuring a variety of nature walks and family-friendly activities. The theme for this year’s International Migratory Bird Day focuses on migratory stopover sites that help birds along their way. Capital City Bird Sanctuary is an excellent stopover site for many migratory birds that pass through our region during the spring and fall. Many other species utilize the 65 acres of forest\, meadow\, and riverside habitats protected by this public nature sanctuary for nesting and foraging activities. Nearly 2 miles of unpaved trails offer visitors a chance to get close to nature and observe birds\, flowers\, and wildlife. This celebration will include activities for adults and children to learn about birds\, plants\, and other creatures that can be found in your own backyard. The event will also feature helpful demonstrations on how to care for bird nest boxes\, create native habitat\, and volunteer with Michigan Audubon. The event will wrap-up with a tree planting ceremony\, sponsored by the Garden Club of Greater Lansing\, to create even better habitat for migratory birds. Please wear sturdy walking shoes or waterproof boots for unpaved\, grassy or muddy trails. Bring binoculars if you have them. We hope to see you there! \nDirections: \nCapital City Bird Sanctuary at Hawk Valley Farm is located northwest of downtown Lansing\, on Delta River Drive. Parking is available at Hawk Meadow Park\, 6160 Delta River Drive. The sanctuary entrance is south of the Hawk Meadow Park parking area\, marked by a wooden kiosk. \nActivity schedule: \n8 a.m. Guided bird walk \n9 a.m. Family birds and nature walk \n9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Kids’ crafts\, activities\, and information tent open \n10 a.m. Botany and birds walk \n10 a.m. Nest box walk \n11:30 a.m. Arbor Day oak tree planting co-sponsored by the Garden Club of Greater Lansing \n
