Welcome Back Birds!

International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) celebrates a migratory bird's spectacular migration between winter and summer grounds. As a proud partner of IMBD, Nature Canada encourages Canadians to welcome back birds on International Migratory Bird Day. Check out our event ideas, tell us about what you're doing to celebrate the return of the birds, and use the tools and resources on this page to welcome back birds.
