May 10 marks the kick-off of "Celebrate Urban Birds!" - an event looking to raise awareness of city birds and to fuel scientific studies on how birds use urban habitats.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is sponsoring the event which hopes to activate citywide participation in gardening and bird watching.
Each person who signs up online will receive the Celebration Kit which includes a colorful urban birds poster, educational materials about birds and urban greening and a packet of sunflower seeds to plant in pots and gardens.
People of all ages and backgrounds can join organized bird watching sessions at a number of local venues. To sign-up visit www.urbanbirds.org/celebration.
