About this Event

Every bird counts—and your observation matters.

Join us in celebrating World Migratory Bird Day 2026 and be part of a global movement to protect migratory birds. This year’s theme highlights the power of community science—where everyday observations help scientists understand bird populations, migration patterns, and conservation needs, including here in this

This day coincides with the Global Big Day, the world’s largest birding event. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or just curious, your sightings contribute to a global dataset that supports real conservation action and explore the Bushwick Inlet for the first time in over 75 years!

What to Expect:
We’ll begin with a guided bird walk through Bushwick Inlet Park, exploring local habitats and spotting migratory and resident species. Along the way, you’ll learn how to observe, identify, and record birds—contributing valuable data through platforms like eBird.

No experience? No problem. You can participate for 5 minutes or stay the whole time—every observation helps.

🌍 Why It Matters:
Community-driven bird counts provide critical insights into species distribution, migration timing, and population trends. By joining, you’re not just birdwatching—you’re helping shape conservation strategies and protect habitats worldwide.

Last year, over 1.7 million people participated globally, recording more than 7,900 species in a single day. Will we surpass 8,000 this year?
