Birdwatching on Curaçao in February
Of course the migration season is very interesting for watching bird species that would otherwise not be found on the island. Both the fall migration (mid August to Mid November) and the spring migration (mid April to mid June) are great for watching these unexpected species.

World Wetland Day – February 2
Every year on February 2nd, the world pauses to reflect on wetlands, (periodically) wet areas of great value to nature and humanity. World Wetlands Day, as it is known, marks the date of the adoption of the Convention on Wetlands on February 2nd, 1971, in the Iranian city of Ramsar on the Caspian Sea coast. Each year, the organization behind Ramsar sets a theme, and for 2026, that theme is “Wetlands and traditional knowledge: celebrating cultural heritage.”
