Buzzards Day

March 15, Friday

Buzzard Day is an annual holiday celebrated on March 15th. Buzzards are a type of vulture. In the US, vultures are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. The extinction of these birds could have cascading negative impacts on the ecosystem and on human health.

The commemoration of this day is Buzzards Day, a day that celebrates the long return of these birds to their nesting grounds during the beginning of spring each year.
