Where Will You Be in 45 Days?
We hope in Klamath Falls, Oregon attending the 2010 Winter Wings Festival!
We have 3 full days of birding and nature-related activities scheduled
for Presidents' Day weekend (Feb 12-14), including guided field trips,
workshops, presentations, a packed line-up of photography activities,
and free family fun. We're especially excited to have Scott
Weidensaul, Bill Clark, and Rick Sammon joining us this year. Scott
will provide the keynote presentation following the banquet on
Saturday; his presentation is based on his book "Living on the Wind:
Across the Hemisphere with Migratory Birds", which was a finalist for
the 2000 Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction.
The complete program and a PDF of the festival brochure are available
at our web site:
http://www.WinterWingsFest.org
Online registration is expected to go live at the web site either
later this week or early next week. Be sure to keep your eyes on the
site, as activities sell out quickly, some within just hours! Over 600
people registered for the festival in 2009. You can also register by
mail; the registration form is posted on the web site as a PDF.
Over 100 species of birds can be found in the Klamath Basin of
southern Oregon and northern California during winter. Six national
wildlife refuges, covering nearly 200,000 acres, attract an impressive
variety of waterfowl and raptors, many in astounding numbers. Whether
you are a beginning birder, a life-long birding enthusiast, or a
budding naturalist, there is something for you at the Winter Wings
Festival in the Klamath Basin this winter!
