Morgantown Migratory Bird Day

Join us at Cooper's Rock State Forest on Saturday, May 9, for Morgantown Migratory Bird Day, our annual local celebration of World Migratory Bird Day! Everything is free and family friendly -- all are welcome!

The day begins with a guided bird walk on the Raven Rock Trail; meet at the trailhead at 7:30am. After the walk, join us at 9am in Pavilion #2 (near the overlook) for Bird Friendly coffee and treats. We will have ongoing educational displays, owl pellet dissection, arts & crafts, and more. At 10am and 12pm, join us for presentations featuring some of the non-releasable ambassador birds in our care. Stop by the pavilion any time and say hello.

The 2026 World Migratory Bird Day theme is "Every Bird Counts -- Your Observations Matter!" We will be keeping a list of all bird species spotted near the overlook throughout the event.
