Birding at the Bluff: Join the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies and the National Park Service for an evening birding stroll at Scotts Bluff National Monument, October 11, 2025, 5–7 p.m.

Enjoy a pleasant early evening birding stroll around the vicinity of the Scotts Bluff National Monument Visitor Center to wrap up World Migratory Bird Day. Whether you are new to birding, an avid birder, or just want to get outdoors and enjoy some time with others, everyone is welcome!

We will meet on the front lawn of the visitor’s center. Binoculars will be available to borrow.
World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) highlights the global need for conservation of migratory birds and their habitats. It is officially celebrated worldwide on the 2nd Saturday in May (May 10, 2025) and the 2nd Saturday in October (October 11, 2025) to coincide with the movement of birds during their seasonal migrations.
Our Nebraska Education Team is offering THREE opportunities throughout the day on October 11th to get outside, learn about & enjoy Nebraska’s migratory, as well as resident, birds, and explore this year’s WMBD conservation theme – Shared Spaces: Creating Bird-Friendly Cities & Communities, which focuses on the many ways that we can help birds where we live.
