Celebrate nature and the spring migration at the 10th Anniversary of Leavenworth Spring Bird Fest! Field trips galore,
presentations, art shows, lectures, and great entertainment are highlights
of Leavenworth Spring Bird Fest.

Special guests are Keynote Speaker Dr. David Craig of Willamette
University, conservation biologist/author Dr. Thor Hanson (FEATHERS:
Evolution of a Natural Miracle), guest artist Ed Newbold,
singer/songwriter/biologist Michael Carlos, who will lead bird walks and
entertain at the Songbird Concert, and Sarvey Wildlife Center in Arlington
returning with live owls, hawks, eagles and an excellent educational
message. Bird Fest Central is back at the downtown gazebo with
entertainment there on Saturday. Thanks to new partner Team
Naturaleza/Dancing with Birds, there is a stronger Latino connection this
year.

Event programs will be available after April 7 at many Bird Fest sponsors,
partners, nature centers, REI, and USFS offices throughout the Northwest.
