10th Annual Spring Wings Bird Festival
May 11-13, 2007
Fallon, Nevada

The Spring Wings Bird Festival coincides with International Migratory Bird Day and the height of spring migration in the Lahontan Valley wetlands. These internationally recognized wetlands are temporary home to over 260 species of birds. During the 2006 festival, 95 different species were logged.

We are pleased to announce a special program for this, our tenth festival year. On Friday evening, May 11th, our program will take place at Fallon's own Barkley Theater beginning at 6:00pm. We will be joined by actor Kaiulani Lee, who wrote and performs a one woman, two-act play in which she portrays Rachel Carson. Ms. Lee has been performing her play, entitled "A Sense of Wonder" throughout the United States for over ten years. Not only is this year’s special because it’s our tenth, but this production is extra special because May 27th is Rachel Carson’s 100th birthday. Rachel Carson was a marine biologist and zoologist best known for her book, Silent Spring, which alerted the world to the dangers of chemical pesticides and launched our modern environmental movement. To read more about Rachel Carson and Ms. Lee, please visit www.kaiulanilee.com. To partake of this wonderful, inspiring performance, please join us during Spring Wings by reserving a seat at the Barkley Theater. Your ticket to the performance will also include a light buffet.

This festival is sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, US Bureau of Reclamation, Fallon Convention and Tourism Authority, Nevada Commission on Tourism, Lahontan Audubon Society, Nevada Waterfowl Association, Nevada Department of Wildlife, Eagle Optics, local and national conservation agencies, and many other area businesses and organizations.
