GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK: International Migratory Bird Day May 11

MOOSE, WY —  Observance of the 2013 International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) gets underway at Grand Teton National Park with a bird-watching caravan on Saturday, May 11. To celebrate IMBD and conduct the annual North American bird count, Park Ranger Andrew Langford will visit areas throughout Grand Teton that provide the best opportunities to locate, identify and record birds.

Anyone interested in birds is welcome to participate. The bird-watching excursion begins at 8 a.m. from the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center in Moose and finishes by 4 p.m. at Christian Pond by Jackson Lake Lodge. The activity is free and reservations are not required.

Throughout the day, participants will take short walks at various locations, so those attending should wear comfortable shoes and bring a lunch, drinking water, warm clothing and rain gear. Bird field guides, binoculars and spotting scopes are also recommended items. 

“Life Cycles of Migratory Birds” serves as the theme for the 2013 IMBD observance. This year’s theme focuses on all aspects of a migratory bird’s life, from migration and nesting to breeding and raising young. Most importantly, it addresses the need for conservation throughout all phases of avian lives. As always, the annual conservation theme is relevant to host organizations and participants throughout the world. Participation in Grand Teton’s IMBD tour offers a chance to learn about the importance of birds and their unique contribution to the health and beauty of the natural areas around the world.

Observed each year in May to celebrate and support avian conservation, IMBD serves as the hallmark outreach event for Partners in Flight—an international conservation program whose goal is to reverse declining populations of migratory birds by bringing attention to factors that contribute to worldwide declines.    

For more information about International Migratory Bird Day and the North American Migration Count, please call the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center at 307.739.3399.

Participants of the IMBD activity are reminded that park entrance stations are open, therefore a park pass is required for travel through these fee stations.

Community business leaders can access the knowledge and experience of world-renowned leaders by attending Chick-fil-A Leadercast at the Sublette County Library in Pinedale on May 4, 2012.

Chick-fil-A Leadercast is a one-day leader development event broadcast LIVE from Atlanta, Ga. to hundreds of sites throughout the nation, including Pinedale.  Speakers for this year’s event include:

Tim Tebow, NFL quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner and best-selling author; Urban Meyer, ESPN analyst and former head football coach for the University of Florida; Soledad O’Brien, Anchor and special correspondent for CNN; Patrick Lencioni, Best-selling author and president of The Table Group; John Maxwell, Leadership expert & best-selling author of “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership”; Marcus Buckingham, Strengths strategist, best-selling author and researcher; Angela Ahrendts, CEO, Burberry; Roland Fryer, Professor of economics at Harvard University and CEO of the Education Innovation Laboratory; Andy Stanley, Best-selling leadership author and communicator; Sheena Iyengar, Author of The Art of Choosing and world-renowned expert of choice.

This year’s program will focus on the power of choice. The diverse group of internationally-acclaimed authors, leadership experts and practitioners will share insights to help leaders empower and equip others at work, at home and in the community through his or her choices.

Last year, 85,000 leaders from 17 countries attended Chick-fil-A Leadercast. In its 12th year, this full day, experiential conference is predicted to reach its largest audience to date. “The Chamber focuses on a variety of business development opportunities for our membership and the community.  Leadercast is one of the best, most consolidated sources of leadership that I know of to be offered to people in Wyoming,” said Brian Gray, resident for the Sublette Chamber of Commerce. “But it goes beyond that. I think this conference, although very focused on leadership, transcends the topic and really shows you how to lead in life.”

“The Chamber is proud to host for a second year along with Gillette and Cheyenne. It’s exciting  for our organization to reach out to bring this renowned business event to leaders on the western part of the state,” said Terrie Swift, Executive Director for the Sublette Chamber of Commerce.
