To kick off the festival Thursday, May 17, Carrol Henderson returns to the site where Trumpeter Swans were released in a reintroduction program 25 years ago - Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge. Carrol's presentation will detail how the swans were brought back from dangerously low numbers and now grace many Minnesota lakes!
Our featured presenter on Saturday, May 19 comes from the University of Washington. John Marzluff will share the surprising similarities people have with birds in the crow family. Did you know crows can talk to dogs? Or, that magpies will ring a doorbell for a treat but only when a person they know and trust is home!
Naturalist Paula Grieef travels from Oak Hammock Marsh, north of Winnipeg, Manitoba, to tell us about this birding hotspot in North America on Friday, May 18, at Maplelag Resort. During the migration season, more than 400,000 waterfowl use the marsh daily!
Workshops in 2012 will help you learn more about Golden-winged Warblers, Woodcock, Purple Martins, Trumpeter Swans, and Greater Prairie-Chickens. Your favorite field trip sites will be offered again as well as new locations!
