Every Bird Counts - Your Observations Matter
Rogue Valley Bird Day is a local celebration of World Migratory Bird Day, a global campaign that serves as a beacon for conservation efforts aimed at protecting migratory birds and their journeys across borders. This years theme highlights the role of public participation in collecting data on migratory bird populations and their habitats and factors that impact their populations and contribute to our knowledge about how to protect them. Community science, ranging from backyard bird counts to large-scale coordinated surveys/schemes, provide information on species distribution, abundance trends, migration timing, and breeding success.
