Celebrate World Migratory Bird Day

Date Updated! This event will now be May 17th (Sunday), 8-10am.

JAS and the US Forest Service Juneau Ranger District will present a celebration at Juneau Community Garden (Montana Creek Road), May 9 May 17, 2026 (Sunday) from 8-10 a.m. A bird-banding demonstration will allow the public to see how scientists catch, tag and safely release birds, allowing close views of beautiful songbirds. This long-standing tradition is a favorite for kids, families, and birders who like to see very fine details. Conservation materials will also be available. This year’s WMBD theme is “Every bird counts – your observations matter.” We will be highlighting local and regional citizen science opportunities throughout May. May 9 is also eBird’s Global Big Day. Birders be sure to put in a checklist for that day!

Celebrate World Migratory Bird Day 2025

Celebrate World Migratory Bird Day with Juneau Audubon, US Forest Service and the Community Garden Club. A bird-banding demonstration will be held from 8 to 10 a.m. Stop by anytime for a chance to see a songbird in hand and learn how biologists safely tag them. This is a great chance to see birds up close, especially young people. For bird safety, heavy rain or gales will cancel the banding, but experts will still be on hand to answer your questions about local birds and conservation.

Location: Juneau Community Garden, Montana Creek Road, Large Pavillion.
