Head on over to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to celebrate the annual phenomenon of bird migration—a marvel of nature now picking up steam for the fall.

Migration Celebration is being held Saturday, September 12, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Cornell Lab, 159 Sapsucker Woods Road, Ithaca. A special pre-celebration bird walk is being hosted by the Cayuga Bird Club at 8:30 a.m. 

Join for a full day of free walks, workshops, presentations, hands-on activities, and live birds of prey. Experience the interactive and accessible exhibits of the Visitor Center and participate in a range of community activities scheduled throughout the day from learning how to make your home bird friendly to exploring the world of sound. This free and family-friendly event offers something for everyone. 

“Migration Celebration brings together so many of the things we love about the Lab: birds, science, creativity, and community,” said Lisa Kopp, visitor experience manager. “Whether you’re a lifelong birder or just curious about what’s happening outside your window, there are so many ways to connect, learn, and have fun together.”
