Volunteers observe Migratory Bird Day on HMB beaches this weekend

Half Moon Bay State Beach volunteers are teaming with the Sequoia Audubon Society to mark International Migratory Bird Day this weekend, May 13-14, 10am to 4pm, with exhibits and educational activities for all ages at the Visitor Center at Francis Beach, 95 Kelly Ave.

International Migratory Bird Day celebrates the incredible journeys of migratory birds between their breeding grounds in North America and their wintering grounds in Mexico, Central, and South America.  The event, which takes place on the second Saturday in May each year, encourages bird conservation and increases awareness of birds through hikes, bird watching, information about birds and migration, public events, and a variety of other educational programs.
