SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Roscommon Bird City - World Migratory Bird Day Event
DESCRIPTION:World Migratory Bird Day 2026: Every Bird Counts—Your Observations Matter\n\nSaturday\, May 09\, 2026\, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nRoscommon\, 585 Southline\, Roscommon\, MI 48653\, USA \n\n\nJoin us as we highlight the role of public participation in collecting data on migratory bird populations and their habitats\, and factors that impact their populations and contribute to our knowledge about how to protect them. \n\nAbout the event\n\n\n\nJoin us at Gahagan Nature Preserve on Saturday May 9 from 10:00 am-12:00 pm to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD). The theme for this year’s WMBD\, “Every Bird Counts—Your Observations Matter”\, highlights the role of public participation in collecting data on migratory bird populations and their habitats and factors that impact their populations and contribute to our knowledge about how to protect them. Community science\, ranging from backyard bird counts to large-scale coordinated surveys\, provides information on species distribution\, abundance trends\, migration timing\, and breeding success. This data is important to identify conservation priorities and inform effective conservation action plans and strategies. By engaging individuals and communities in monitoring efforts\, we not only gather scientific data but also build a deeper connection to nature\, raise awareness about the challenges migratory birds face\, and inspire direct conservation action. \nWe will talk about ongoing citizen science projects\, eBird\, and Merlin\, then hit the trails at Gahagan to use some of what we learned. \n\n\n\n\nThis event was submitted to our community calendar page by an outside organizer and is not a Michigan Audubon event. If you have questions\, please reach out to the event organizers or the contact information provided in the event description.
