We're hosting birdwatching tours that are free with admission for the 2026 World Migratory Bird Day on Saturday, May 9.

We're especially excited to introduce the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center to FIFA World Cup 26™ staffers from around the world as part of a weekend of Dallas-based nature engagement. Master Birders Caleb Hinojos, Jeanne Kuehn, Caroline Humphries and JBSWC Operations Associate Jade Reynolds will host our tours.

Here on the Central Flyway, our 2,000-acre constructed wetland is an eBird hotspot with observations of almost 300 species of resident and migratory birds, including American bald eagles. Here is a printable checklist. Free field guides will also be available at the event.

Make sure to bring water and sun protection and wear long sleeves and long pants. Bring your binoculars; we have a limited supply to lend.

Please register for this event and select which bird tour you would like to join. Free with admission.

Tour No. 1: 7:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m.
Tour No. 2: 10 a.m.-12 p.m.
