Nerdy For Birdies - Birdwatching club Phoenix

---

Check out the video we made for International Migratory Bird Day 2020.

World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) is an annual  awareness-raising campaign highlighting the need for the conservation of  migratory birds and their habitats. It has a global outreach and is an  effective tool to help raise global awareness of the threats faced by  migratory birds, their ecological importance, and the need for  international cooperation to conserve them.

Every year people around the world take action and organize public  events such as bird festivals, education programs, exhibitions and  bird-watching excursions to celebrate WMBD. All these activities can  also be undertaken at any time on the year because that countries or  regions observing the peak of migrations at different times, but the  main days for the international celebrations on the second Saturday in  May and in October.

In 2020 Nerdy For Birdies will be running a CBC  circle for the Phoenix Metro area. Believe it or not, Phoenix and the surrounding cities have not been counted since the early 1900's. After watching a documentary about the CBC Ninja Birder was inspired to get involved. We did a trial run in 2019 and we will be ready for an official run in 2020. We plan to offer several trainings in Fall 2020. Click sign up to be added to our CBC contact list.

The Southeast Arizona Birding Festival will be August 5th-9th. We are so excited to be returning for our 2nd year. This festival is what turned by young birder into a birding enthusiast. We are so excited to announce that this year we will also be leading a youth birdwalk and craft at the festival.

These are some of our favorite birding apps!
