Throughout May, State College flocked to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day — a day focused on the 'global bird conservation education campaign,' according to its website. The 2023 World Migratory Bird Day landed on May 13, a date that the State College Borough Council acknowledged as a holiday during a borough council meeting in April, according to the borough's Sustainability Program Officer Jasmine Fields. Fields said her division worked with the State College Bird Club and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to develop programming for World Migratory Bird Day, including a bird watching event for kids on May 7, a tree and bird walk on the morning of May 13 and the Lights Out State College event that evening.
