World Migratory Bird Day 2026 at Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary
The theme for World Migratory Bird Day 2026 is “Every Bird Counts: Your Observations Matter” [URL embedded]. This conservation theme highlights the importance of community science (also known as citizen science) to migratory bird conservation. You can contribute your observations to support research locally, nationally, and even globally!
We are pleased to invite you to a special training session on iNaturalist—to learn how to use this powerful tool to identify flora and fauna on the trail and contribute to local data collection and conservation efforts.
This hands-on session will guide you through recording observations, making species identifications, and understanding how your contributions support scientific research—no experience needed, just the app on your phone! The training will include a presentation and Q&A in the Nature House, followed by a walk and practice session.
Your instructor will be Abby Hyde, a consummate naturalist and educator with the BC Parks iNaturalist team.
