Bird Day Is May 4th

Tweet

I have been seeing plenty flying feathered winged creatures around my feeder lately. And also a lot of pleasant chirping and singing sounds in the trees. I bet Pennsylvania Superintendent of Schools, Charles Almanzo Babcock, who established the first bird day holiday in 1894, noticed the same thing too. This was the first holiday in the United States dedicated to the celebration of birds. Babcock founded the day, observed annually on May 4th, to advance bird conservation as something very important. Other Bird Holidays and known dates of celebration: -National Bird Day is celebrated in the United States on January 5 of each year. -International Migratory Bird Day is celebrated on the second Saturday in May -World Bird Day is celebrated on the second Saturday in May. So, for all the bird watchers in the world get those binoculars out and enjoy observing those various bird species. For me, I'll just enjoy them from my deck and look for the many birds who have come back to inhabit my yard again after another winter season. It won't be long before the whole gang of feathered friends are back: Cardinals, Robins, Catbirds, Blue jays, Cowbirds, Chickadees, Nut hatches, Red-winged blackbirds, Yellow finches and of course House sparrows. Have you seen any of these guys and gals in your yard yet? I have a few favorites like the Yellow finches, but I also like the coloring of the Cardinals and Blue jays too. Do you have any favorites?
