World Migratory Bird Day 2025
World Migratory Bird Day is an annual global celebration of the incredible journeys birds take across continents, connecting ecosystems and cultures. The 2025 conservation theme, "Shared Spaces - Creating Bird-friendly Cities and Communities," highlights the urgent need to protect migratory birds from threats like habitat loss, light pollution, window collisions, pesticides, outdoor cats, and plastic pollution.
Cities like Houston play a crucial role in providing habitat for millions of birds during fall and spring migration each year. This makes it especially important for us to take action in keeping our outdoor spaces bird-friendly. Join us as we raise awareness and take action for migratory birds!

What is a Bioblitz?
A bioblitz is an exciting event where people of all ages come together to identify and document as many species of plants, animals, and insects as possible within a specific area in a short period of time. It’s a fun way to explore nature, contribute to community science, and help track biodiversity in local ecosystems.
One of the best tools to participate in a bioblitz is iNaturalist, a free app that allows you to easily record and share your wildlife observations. To get started, simply download the iNaturalist app from the App Store or Google Play, create an account, and start snapping photos of plants and animals you encounter. The app uses a community of experts to help identify your finds, and your observations contribute to valuable data that helps scientists and conservationists monitor biodiversity.
This free, family-friendly event will feature nature-themed activities for all ages and a bioblitz using iNaturalist to help participants discover the biodiversity in our community.
