Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
FESTIVALS AND EDUCATION - AS ALWAYS, BIRD FESTIVALS ARE IMPORTANT DAYS IN THE BIRDSCARIBBEAN CALENDER. ISLAND RESIDENTS HOSTED DOZENS OF ACTIVITIES- WHETHER VIRTUAL, IN PERSON, OR A "HYBRID" MIXTURE, DEPENDING ON COVID RESTRICTIONS. BIRDSCARIBBEAN PROMOTED THE THEME "SING, FLY, SOAR LIKE A BIRD" FOR BOTH WORLD MIGRATORY BIRD DAY(WMBD) AND THE 20-YEAR-OLD CARIBBEAN ENDEMIC BIRD FESTIVAL(CEBF). IT INSPIRED BIRD WALS, FIELD TRIPS AND AN EXCITING BIRD COSTUME PARTY. BIRDSCARIBBEAN OFFERED PHYSICAL RESOURCES FOR FUN AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES SUCH AS FIELD TRIPS AND CLASSROOM VISITS, AS WELL AS WEBINARS AND MANY OTHER ONLINE RESOURCES FOR FAMILIES AND YOUTH TO CELEBRATE AT HOME.
PARTNER AND MEMBER SERVICES - BIRDSCARIBBEAN'S VALUES STATE THAT WE WILL WORK WITH BOTH INTERNATIONAL AND LOCAL PARTNERS TO ACHIEVE CONSERVATION OF BIRDS AND THEIR HABITATS. BIRDSCARIBBEAN HAS THE ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE TO ALLOW DONORS TO MAKE GRANTS TO INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS IN THE REGION WHO OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE THEM. OUR AGREEMENTS AND PARTNERSHIPS ENABLE US TO TRANSFER RESOURCES NOT ONLY AT A MINIMUM COST, BUT WITH ADDED VALUE, SUCH AS LEVERAGING FUNDS OR ELEVATING AWARENESS.
CARIBBEAN WATERBIRD CENSUS AND CONSERVATION - THE 12TH ANNUAL CARIBBEAN WATERBIRD CENSUS(CWC) WAS HIGHLY SUCESSFUL. FROM MID JANUARY TO EARLY FEBRUARY, BIRDERS FANNED OUT ACROSS THE WETLANDS AND BEACHES TO RECORD THEIR SIGHTINGS ON EBIRD CARIBBEAN. TO PREPARE FOR THE 2021 CARIBBEAN WATERBIRD CENSUS, BIRDSCARIBBEAN PRESENTED WEBINARS ON HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CWC, INCLUDING PRESENTATIONS ON USING EBIRDS CARIBBEAN AND MERLIN, HOW TO DO A CWC COUNT, AND HOW TO IDENTIFY WATERBIRDS AND SHOREBIRDS. OUR FOCUS ON SHOREBIRDS TIED IN WITH ONGOING CONCERNS AMONG ORNITHOLOGISTS AND BIRD LOVERS REGARDING THE HUNTING OF THESE MIGRATORY GEMS ON THE ISLAND OF GUADELOUPE, MARTINIQUE, AND TO A LESSER EXTENT BARBADOS. OUR WORK INCLUDES THE CONVERSION OF SOME FORMER SHOOTING SWAMPS TO SHORE BIRD REFUGES.
