Saturday, May 12 is International Migratory Bird Day. Here in the Rochester area, the annual IMBD festival will take place at the Braddock Bay Park in Greece, New York. Lying along one of the major bird migration routes in North America, Braddock Bay is a great place to learn about birds at any time of year, but especially during the annual migrations in fall and spring. Events for people of all ages are scheduled for May 12-13 (Mother’s Day), such as live bird demonstrations, nature hikes, arts and crafts, and presentations by local birding authorities including our very own Jim Pisello! A nature photographer and Communications Director for the Rochester Falconcam, Jim will deliver a presentation about watching our favorite falcons on Sunday afternoon. If you’re anywhere in the greater Rochester area we hope you’ll join us at Braddock Bay this weekend!
