May 1, 2021: Count the Birds!
Be a part of birding’s biggest team! Global Big Day on May 8th is an annual celebration of the birds around you. Migration is in full swing. They are singing their best songs and are in their best colors.
According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, 
your sightings contribute to hundreds of conservation decisions and peer-reviewed papers, thousands of student projects, and help inform bird research worldwide.
Watch birds on 8 May: it’s that simple. You don’t need to be a bird expert or go out all day long–even 10 minutes of birding from home counts!
Global Big Day runs from midnight to midnight, and you can report what you find to hersheysmillnature#gmail.com. For each observation, please note the time and location (Village name is fine). HMNG will compile our sightings and send in a report.
Happy Birding!
