Spring is a busy time in the bird world with millions of birds making their way to northern breeding sites after a warm winter in Central and South America. Migration is such an important and impressive event in the animal world that bird enthusiasts throw a festival in its honor.

On Saturday, May 9, from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, Menunkatuck Audubon Society and Audubon Connecticut will commemorate our birds’ arduous journeys at Westville Village ArtWalk in New Haven’s Westville Village.
