World Migratory Bird Day

On Friday, May 7, Trinity River Audubon Center kicks off its World Migratory Bird Day celebration virtually.

Jeop-birdy: 5:30–6:30pm
Put your bird knowledge to the test with a migration-minded trivia game. Audubon Educators will be the moderators of this family-friendly virtual competition where first place gets a very cool prize you can use to show off your trivia skills. It is 100% free to play but registration is required. Register online at trinityriver.audubon.org/events/jeop-birdy.

Wandering Warblers: 7–8pm
Afterwards, Audubon Educators will host a presentation about the different warbler species that add seasonal color and flair to the Great Trinity Forest. With migration in full swing, folks are seeing an influx of colorful species at their favorite birding hotspots. Many of these birds are warblers that travel long distances from their wintering locations to their breeding grounds. Join Audubon Educators as they discuss the warblers you may encounter next time you’re out on the trail. This virtual presentation is free and registration is required.
