Spring is in the air as we plan for March migrations and birding opportunities at a variety of Birding Festivals. Every festival event is different, but many of March's birding festivals are long-running annual events that have continued for decades, many providing exciting activities over an entire weekend. Most birding festivals feature speakers and workshops, guided field trips, children's activities, a birding marketplace, and photo-oriented instruction. Most of all, every birding festival creates special social occasions with exciting opportunities for novice and experienced birders in mind.
Birding Festivals always provide excellent opportunities to learn more about birds and other wildlife, in a social atmosphere with others interested in birds and birding – and you learn more become a better birder in the process.
