This review will introduce you to a few of the bird holidays and awareness days for the second quarter of the year. I have found bird watching and bird photography to be a wonderful pastime. In addition to sharing some of the second quarter bird days, I will share a few of my photographs in this review. All photos were taken in my backyard.

The first American Eagle Day was proclaimed by President Bill Clinton in 1995. Since then 41 American states have made the day an official observance. From 2007 onwards, the US Senate has also passed resolutions to mark June 20 of the year as American Eagle Day. The American Eagle Foundation is at the forefront of organizing and sponsoring events on this holiday.
American Eagle Day is an observance, which means that businesses, stores, and government offices are open.
On this day, conservation and educational organizations hold public outreach programs such as lectures, workshops, and informational sessions to raise awareness about the importance of preserving and protecting bald eagles and other wildlife.
The holiday is sometimes known as Bald Eagle Day or National Eagle Day.

Did you know that bird watching is enjoyed by over 73 million Americans? It is no wonder than that there are many different bird days listed on special days lists.
I count myself as an ardent bird watcher and photographer and on this post, I will share with you some of the national bird days I found interesting. This post will be part 1 of 4 so I will include bird days in the first quarter of the year. I will also share photos of birds I have watched and photographed in my backyard. For more information on national bird days check out www.birdtipper.com.
When a female emperor penguin's baby dies, she will often "kidnap" an unrelated chick.
There are 17 species of penguins and all of them live in the Southern Hemisphere.
The penguin species with the highest population is the macaroni penguin with 11 million pairs.
The gentoo Penguin is the fastest swimmer — reaching speeds up to 22 mph.
An average penguin might spend up to 75 percent of its life in the water — where it also hunts for prey.
Also, be sure to keep your cat indoors—birds of all kinds, including sparrows, are killed each year by outdoor cats.
Finally, fill your bird feeder with seeds that sparrows love, such as sunflower seeds and millet, and sit back and enjoy watching these busy little birds at work!
On World Sparrow Day, take a moment to think about one of the most common birds in the world: the humble sparrow. This holiday is a chance for us to learn more about these fascinating birds and take action to help them thrive!
Here are some photos I have taken of sparrows in my backyard. They are all Eurasian Tree Sparrows.
