Celebrate International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) in the Caribbean, October 2010! The long journeys that migratory birds take each year are really fantastic. These birds, like our endemics and residents, are part of our natural heritage, and it is up to us to raise awareness and conserve the habitats they need to feed and rest during winter or their long migrations. We invite you to celebrate this festival in your country. Click here for more information.
