International Migratory Bird Day

  • ​Posted May 07, 2018

By Andy Avram, Interpretive Manager

People often talk about when “their” Baltimore orioles or “their” ruby-throated hummingbirds, or otherwise imply that many of these migratory birds are “our birds,” but in reality these birds are just as much tropical birds as they are Ohio birds. A Tennessee warbler is just as likely to have a red squirrel as a neighbor at some point during the year as it is a squirrel monkey!

This year’s International Migratory Bird Day at Lake Erie Bluffs on May 12 from 1 to 4 pm is highlighting the tropical vs. temperate habitats of these migratory birds! And since birding is a growing pastime in this county that can be enjoyed by all ages, anyone and everyone is encouraged to attend this event. Learn how to get started birding, take a guided bird hike, see live animals and meet other local birding organizations.

At Lake Erie Bluffs, a significant variety of habitat is protected and this offers many critical options for food and cover. Birds will stopover while on their journeys, refueling while preparing to move onward. With nearly two miles of natural and undisturbed beach, Lake Erie Bluffs is unique and provides many opportunities to watch birds within the larger landscape.
