Birders from around the country celebrate the 16th annual International Migratory Bird Day.
In Lake County, Lake Metroparks hosts a
morning of birding activities with the help of the Blackbrook Audubon Society at Chagrin River Park in Willoughby.
This event is open to everyone who birds or is curious about why birding is
so appealing. Birders of all ages and skills will appreciate the diversity of birds that use Chagrin River park as a migration stop-over, a year-round dwelling place, and a summer breeding ground.
Participate in family-fun birding activities including guided bird walk, a Big Sit on the deck on top of the sledding hill overlooking the wetland, scavenger bingo, and compare your "wingspan" to a life size wingspan banner on the pedestrian bridge spanning the river.
Educational displays and exhibits include:
- Blue bird monitoring
- Cat control
- Deer impact on songbirds
- Urban planting to attract birds
- Feeding birds and more
