In celebration of World Migratory Bird Day, we talked to Charlotte, Manager of Horticulture Programs at Shedd, to learn about Shedd’s migratory bird garden and how we can help migratory birds in our backyards.
Out of the 325 species of birds that travel the Mississippi Flyway in the spring and fall, over 40% are shorebirds!
Correction: The insect photos featured in this video are not part of a migratory bird’s diet. They tend to eat insects like ants, mosquitoes, gnats, beetles, flies, caterpillars, moths and aquatic invertebrates. 🐜🦟
