Discover the joys of spring migration at Presque Isle Audubon's 2024 Festival of the Birds at Presque Isle State Park, which BirdWatching Magazine rates as one of the top birding spots in the country! The 2024 festival runs from Friday, May 17 to Sunday, May 19, and features field trips to all the hotspots and workshops for every level, from Warblers 101 to Native Plants for Backyard Birds, plus Birdsong Mnemonics, Herpetology, & much more! Witness science in action at Erie Bird Observatory's bird banding station. Bring your own kayak (or rent one here) and paddle into the Presque Isle lagoons with us as we search for migrating waterfowl, secretive marsh birds, & more! All skill levels welcome. Good food, great camaraderie, a welcome reception on Friday evening with music and fun; lots of friendly helpful people and a small ticket auction, to boot. We are a small festival, limited to 150 attendees. None of the crowds, all of the birds!
