This week we celebrated Black Birders Week along with local conservation organizations at an elementary school "Flyways & Freedom" Extravaganza in Ypsilanti. Following a bird walk guided by one of our local chapters, students stopped by our booth to play a bird migration game, explore feathers up close, and take home educational materials about birds and conservation.

Our next action step for spring migration is planting native plants.

Habitat loss has made it harder for migratory birds to find safe places to rest and refuel. Additionally, much of the remaining habitat is filled with non-native plants that provide little food and shelter for birds during migration and breeding season.

You can help by planting native flowers, shrubs, and trees in your yard or community spaces. Even small changes, like leaving an unmowed corner or adding a native garden bed can create important habitat for birds traveling through Michigan.

To celebrate the end of Birdathon week, here are some of our favorite birds our teams spotted.

Spring migration brings an incredible variety of species through Michigan each year, and while these birds aren’t necessarily rare, they’re exciting examples of the diversity you can experience during migration season.

Birdathon week may be over, but donations are still open! Your support directly funds conservation work that benefits birds like the ones featured here and the habitats they depend on. Donate here: https://ow.ly/VsBu50Z4hHC
