Migratory Bird Festival — Next Saturday, May 21 at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Smyrna, Delaware

Mark your calendar and clear your weekend for this annual event, the only one of its kind in the United States.

Your tax dollars at their very best.

The theme of this year's festival is aerial collisions, which fell more than 700 million birds every year.

But there's a whole lot more going on.

A Horseshoe Crab Trip to Pickering Beach, Mushroom Walks, Saltmarsh Boat Trips, Wildflower Walk, Tour of the Native Plant Garden, Historic House Tours, Salamander Search and Pond Exploration, much more.

Exhibits of all sorts going on all day, free posters, make a free bird feeder and get a free two–pound starter bag of birdseed, free decals, etc.

The refuge is open from sunrise to sunset.

It's about two hours from the Beltway around Washington, D.C.

Perfect for everyone in the family, friends, relatives who can't get along: get 'em outdoors into the fresh air.
