When is Bird Day?
Thursday May 4thIn the United States, we celebrate our feathered friends on several holidays, including Bird Day. Birds of all sorts are found throughout North America. The day honors birds of all sorts.
BIRD DAY
Birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike will appreciate the beauty and variety of these winged friends' North America has over 2,000 species of birds. They come in every color of plumage and wingspan, from songbirds to waterfowl and domesticated birds.
Migrating birds migrate to their summer nesting grounds in the spring. It's a great time for those new to birdwatching to learn how to recognize birds by species. Enthusiasts also know that birds will migrate through backyards and stop for a rest, a bite to eat, and a drink if the right habitat is available. As new visitors arrive daily, they stand outside their windows with binoculars and watch as new visitors arrive daily. If it's an oriole, a tree swallow, the ruby-throated hummingbird, or an American Finch, you'll want to ensure you've prepared food, natural habitat, and water sources for your guests.
However, birdists are enticed by the passersby, not just the passersby. It's the long-term residents and those of the greater outdoors who live. Year after year, robins gather their nesting wood or chickadees caring for their brood. They wander through nature preserves looking for a glimpse of a diversified thrush or a prairie warbler. If they do, they are often afforded a privileged view of a bald eagle soaring above them.
