I threw on my robe and went outside to start my count as the earth swelled with bird chorus. This day, however, the dawn singer was a robin. Lately it’s been a mockingbird, which, I’ve learned, is usually a male singing while the female incubates eggs. It began when I woke up to birdsong early Saturday morning. She’s in Georgia, I’m in North Carolina, but we are birds of the same feather in countless ways, equally excited for this bird-counting day. In the common interest of science, conservation, and celebration, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology invites bird lovers around the world to count all birds seen or heard on Global Big Day and to enter this data in official checklists.Īnd so I joined Team eBird with my friend and fellow blogger-poet, Kim Johnson. It has a global outreach and is an effective tool to help raise global awareness of the threats faced by migratory birds, their ecological importance, and the need for international cooperation to conserve them. As defined on the WMBD website: World Migratory Bird Day is an annual awareness-raising campaign highlighting the need for the conservation of migratory birds and their habitats. World Migratory Bird Day, to be more precise, a global celebration occurring on the second Saturdays of May and October. It was to be a day filled with birds…more than I could even count, although I had to try. I was enchanted by birds then, and I am exponentially enchanted now, which is why I woke up so excited last Saturday. I couldn’t wait for my father to take me to the store where I’d pick out my first pet: a parakeet.
