Celebrate World Migratory Bird Day 2025 with us! This year's theme is "Shared Spaces," and we will be sharing simple actions that each of us can do to help birds migrate safely. There will be two bird/nature walks and some fun, educational activities such as a beginner bird scavenger hunt, iNaturalist support, and junior ranger activities.

According to the BirdCast migration dashboard, 2,283,700 birds flew through NE Florida overnight! We hope to see some visiting species of warblers and possibly even some Great-crested Flycatchers and Swallow-tailed Kites!

Activities:

  • - Morning walk: 9:30-10:00am
  • - Educational activities: 10:00am-1:30pm
  • - Afternoon walk: 2:00-2:30pm

If you would like to participate in the City Nature Challenge, you will need the phone app iNaturalist, which uses citizen science and AI to help identify plants and animals. Join the iNaturalist project, City Nature Challenge 2025: Northeast Florida.
