Nature's been playing a flawless game of survival for millennia, but our constant industrial noise is destroying the board. Today we must fight to protect the players who are simply trying to navigate the wreckage and find their way home. #NationalChessDay #WorldMigratoryBirdDay #Rebellation

It's #WorldMigratoryBirdDay

Leave, leave your well-loved nest,
Late swallow, and fly away.
Here is no rest
For hollowing heart and wearying wing…

—Edwin Muir, “The Late Swallow”
first published in One Foot in Eden (Faber, 1956)

I want answers, but there are only the wild geese
Calling, high in the almost-dark, bearing south,
And me, stopped short, clutching a bag of groceries
On the doorstep of my not-quite home…

—Susan Mansfield, “Bearing South”
from THE ROOFTOP BUSKER (ASL, 2015)

Celebrating the wonderful and diverse species that migrate, in this case up and down the Mississippi Flyway.
I moved from Nottingham, England to southeast Minnesota almost 15 yrs ago and have been amazed at the wonderful sights I've been treated to.

Twice a year, millions of birds take to the skies—and their incredible migrations can even show up on weather radar.

This #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, help give them a safer journey by turning off lights at night, planting native species, and paying attention to the birds passing through your backyard.

Migratory birds make incredible journeys every year, but habitat loss, pollution and climate change are pushing many into decline.

This #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, meet the cities becoming safe havens: https://ow.ly/VwCu50ZW9sS

Today is #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, and to celebrate, we're launching a special Steam event called BIRDS OF PLAY, showcasing 140 bird games dedicated to our feathered friends!

As Iman Ebrahimi, Voice for Wetlands, reminds us: “Every observation matters because it creates more than a data point. When someone notices a bird, identifies it and shares that observation, a small connection begins between that person, the bird and conservation.” #WorldMigratoryBirdDay
