International Migratory Bird Day Info for 2016

Hi All,

As many of you know, 2016 is the centennial celebration of the Migratory Bird Treaty. Yes, that's right... 100 years of bird conservation in action, so there'll be a lot of bird-related hype in the conservation community this year, and lots of International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) celebrations on and around Saturday, May 14.

Because it's never too early to start planning for spring, here's some info you can include (or use as is) in any announcements or articles you may develop if you're thinking of hosting an IMBD celebration. USFWS also will have multiple resources available for your use at NESTBOX (www.fws.gov/birds/MBTreaty100/nestbox.php).  

So, help get the word out and join the celebration!
