$World Migratory Bird Day \/ Global Big Day$

In 1993, the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center created International Migratory Bird Day to raise awareness for the urgent need for migratory bird conservation. Every year, a single conservation theme is celebrated to help highlight one topic that is important to migratory bird conservation. This
year’s World Migratory Bird Day theme focuses on the importance of water for migratory birds and identify key actions for protecting water resources and aquatic ecosystems.
