Stories in Flight. Connecting bird lovers worldwide through the path of migration and meaning.
Partner with Follow the Birds
Inspiring Global Connection Through the Flight of Birds
The Bird Migration Gathering brings together birders, photographers, scientists, and storytellers from every continent to follow the flight paths that connect our world.
Through art, science, and shared story, we explore how birds unite cultures, ecosystems, and people.
Your organization can help that story take flight.
Each partnership supports events that inspire curiosity, connection, and conservation across borders.
Why Partner With Us?
As a sponsor, you join a global movement celebrating curiosity, care, and connection.

Our reach (2025 inaugural event):
Participants from 10 countries across 5 continents
Highly engaged, story-driven audience of bird lovers, educators, and nature creatives

Follow the Birds is based in the southernmost part of the Rocky Mountains in Durango, Colorado, USA. My favorite migrating bird is the Black Swift, which travels from sheer cliffs in Colorado to the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. What's yours? ~ Founder, Kelly Miller
