Water such as wetlands, rivers, lakes, streams, marshes, and ponds are needed for feeding, drinking, or nesting. This years World Migratory Bird Day campaign will focus on the topic of water and its importance for migratory birds. World Migratory Bird Day is May 13 and there are many ways you can help birds during their migration period. Even Hidden Pond Nature Center, smack in the middle of Springfield, is an excellent birdwatching spot because of the feeder that hangs just outside a large viewing window in the nature center. Smaller lake parks, like Lake Mercer, appeal to large numbers of birds, especially in late winter if freezing temperatures play havoc with the water’s shad population. Lake parks, Riverbend and Huntley Meadows are routine stopping points for migrating birds. More than 200 bird species have been identified in the wetlands of Huntley Meadows Park.Įach species of bird is attracted to particular habitat, and Fairfax County park habitats include woods, wetland, river, and lake environments that attract a broad range of species.
