VICTORIA The Rocky Point Bird Observatory has launched the first annual Victoria Bird Week. The nine-day event has a variety of virtual events and activities scheduled, with the ultimate goal of getting more people into birding. “One of the fantastic things about birding as a hobby is that you can do it anywhere and anytime,” said Ann Nightingale with the Rocky Point Bird Observatory. “Sometimes it s better than others for sure, but you can do it by yourself, you can do it with your family, you can do it with the same groups,” she said. Nightingale says there are health benefits to birding as well.
Hosted by the Rocky Point Bird Observatory, the week-long event is intended to raise awareness of bird conservation and bring people closer to nature.
Today is both World Migratory Bird Day and a “Global Big Day,” an annual celebration of the birds around you, says Renee Cenerini, lead educator for the organization. “No matter where you are, join in virtually on May 8, help celebrate World Migratory Bird Day and share the birds you find with eBird.”
Rocky Point Bird Observatory will host a live Zoom presentation.
There will be a number of online, bird-themed presentations throughout the week, including two talks: Bird Motherhood on May 9, and 10 Easy To Learn Bird Songs on May 16.
