Today is World Migratory Bird Day!

Every spring and fall, millions of birds travel through the Blue Ridge Parkway. Protected habitat along the Parkway allow migratory birds to feed, rest, and breed, serving as a critical corridor during their long journeys. The Appalachian forests serve as a refuge for warblers, such as the black-throated blue warbler, blackburnian warbler, cerulean warbler, and black-throated green warbler. Conserving connected landscapes along the Blue Ridge Parkway helps ensure that migratory birds can continue their seasonal travels.
