It’s World Migratory Bird Day! Don’t miss award-winning Bluedot contributor Sam Moore’s story of the Atlantic migratory path and the scientists working around the clock to protect these frequent fliers (the photos are spectacular too). And let’s revisit this Dot from the archives about how we, too, can help migrating birds. While Dot addresses our letter writer, who lives on Martha’s Vineyard, the advice is equally applicable to anywhere the tired avian travellers can be found.
(And an early Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, caregivers, and mother figures who make our lives better. Dot wishes you a wonderful day.)
Dear Dot,

Elle G., Vineyard Haven
Dear Elle,
“The nature of migration is really intensive,” says Matt Pelikan, a naturalist. “When birds are migrating, they’re running marathons.”
Metaphorically, of course. Their little legs couldn’t possibly run 26 miles let alone the up to 600 miles the American Bird Conservancy says migrating birds travel daily at approximately the same speed as a car on the highway.
But, like any marathoner, they need water. Lots of it, says Pelikan, who urges us to put out a dish of water on the railing of our deck if we don’t have a bird bath. And if we do have a bird bath, we must ensure that it’s kept clean, with fresh water. …
What else can we do? Read on.
