International Migratory Bird Day is a special day dedicated to the celebration of migratory birds and to conservation awareness across the continent. It is celebrated annually on the second Saturday of May in the United States and Canada.

The Oak Hammock Marsh Interpretive Centre is celebrating International Migratory Bird Day with many activities including bird banding, birding walks, live birds of prey viewing with Wildlife Haven and presentations by guest speakers throughout the day.
