Description
Online registration is not available. Please call 815.338.6223 for additional information.
This Year's theme is Shared Spaces: Migratory birds are remarkable travelers, embarking on extensive journeys across continents and oceans. They now share important stopover locations, migratory flyways, breeding grounds, and feeding areas with people in both rural and urban settings. WMBD's 2025 campaign aims to promote the creation of bird-friendly cities and communities to encourage a healthy coexistence that supports both human and avian populations. Come learn more about our migratory birds and what you can do to help them!
