World Migratory Bird Day

Roseburg Swift Watch & World, Fall Migratory Bird Celebration 2024

September 6th, 13th & 20th | 6:30pm – 8pm @ The Clay Place (Fir Grove Park)

Update: Two years ago, the Swifts abandoned the Clay Place Chimney and opted to use a chimney at the Courthouse as their primary fall migration roost. Last year, they were back at the Clay Place; ditto last spring AND for a few days this fall. Then, they quit using the Clay Place chimney, but can still be seen around sunset in the sky and roosting in small numbers in a couple of residential chimneys.

Umpqua Valley Migratory Bird Celebration: Vaux’s Swifts are just one of many amazing bird species that pass through our area in the spring and fall in migration. Federal and State agencies will be joining us to celebrate fall bird migration in conjunction with Swift Watch in recognition of World Migratory Bird Day which brings attention to one of the most important and spectacular events in the Americas – bird migration. Information about migration and bird related activities for kids will be offered. Plus, we may have as special guests a trio of Cedar Waxwings who are ambassadors for all migratory species.

Music: The "Swifts Sisters and Friends" will host an open jam session featuring Americana music beginning around 6:30. Bring your instrument/voice and join in the fun.

Weather Advisory: This Friday is scheduled to be a very warm day. Please bring water and other items to keep yourselves comfortable during this warm evening!

This event is a partnership of Umpqua Valley Audubon Society and the City of Roseburg Parks & Recreation.

Taller educativo para celebrar a las aves Migratorias

Environment for the Americas has three outstanding Summer Youth interns who dedicated their summer to designing an educational garden in partnership with the US Forest Service. Located at their high school in Cicero, IL, the interns organized the garden layout throughout their internship. They lead 20-25 fellow students in various gardening tasks, educating them about the significance of native versus invasive species and attracting pollinators like Monarch butterflies. Additionally, they focus on the birds visiting the garden and procure materials such as mulch and rocks to enhance its design.

Con alumnos de segundo básico de la Escuela Básica de Carampangue se desarrollaron diferentes actividades relacionadas con las aves. Mediante diferentes dinámicas como diseñar sus máscaras, pintar y describir las que conocían y colocarlas en un mural, conversamos sobre la importancia de conservar las aves y proteger su hábitat, cómo también sobre conocer más sobre el alimento de éstas. Las dinámicas se enfocaron en que aprendieran sobre la migración de las aves, su alimento y de qué manera podemos conservarlas.
