These internationally recognized wetlands are temporary
home to over 260 species of birds, including thousands
of White-faced ibis, Long-billed dowitcher, American
white pelicans, Black-necked stilts, American avocets,
and many other waterfowl and waterbirds. During the
2008 festival, a respectable 147 different species were
logged - not a festival record, but a nice, tidy sum
nonetheless.
Our 2008 keynote speakers Scott Weidensaul and Al Batt,
performed to rave reviews.
Photographer, Mike Sevon, has a great collection of
Spring Wings photos. Take a look at his website to view
or purchase photographs. Mike Sevon Photography.
Next year's event will again occur in Oats Park. We
feel the outdoor portion lends a more festive feel to
the activities and vendors booths as well as provide
plenty of space for new activities and even performances
by local talent that we've not been able to accomodate
in the past. Our presentations will be held in the beautiful
Barkley Theater - and our Friday and Saturday Keynotes
will be staged there as well. Prepare for some wonderful
new changes for this upcoming event.
More Info:Pre-registration is required
for many of the events, so you'll need to register as
early as possible in order to insure your spot on your
favorite tour. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to
access the brochure, schedule, and registration files.
Adobe Reader can be downloaded free of charge by accessing
the Adobe website.
In the interest of conservation we are developing an
internet mailing list, so we can notify you as soon
as the information is posted to the website - this saves
paper, time, manpower, and $$$$$. If you wish to be
notified when the online brochure and registration form
are posted to the website, please contact the event
coordinator by any of the methods provided below. In
these days of spam filters, please include "Spring
Wings" in the subject line of your message to make
sure we get your request. We've left the 2008 brochure
and schedule online so you can view the kinds of activities
that we offer.
