Take a bird walk today! From the website of the Northeast Region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service:
<<Set on the second Saturday in May, International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) is an invitation to celebrate and support migratory bird conservation.
Like any day of recognition, IMBD exists to focus attention on a valuable resource - the nearly 350 species of migratory birds that travel between nesting habitats in North America and non-breeding grounds in South and Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
To learn more about IMBD, 
please visit this site.>>
Walked: 5.5 miles. It's hot! But I had a great visit on the bird part of my walk with a colleague from several years back and his wife, who are novice birders but still had managed to come across a yellow-billed cuckoo. (Bet you didn't even know that there really are such things as cuckoos in North America, did you?)
