Third Annual Birding Festival
June 6-8, 2008


Pine County has been discovered by bird watchers. Bird watching in central Minnesota is at its best in early June. The tropical migrants have all returned and they are busy setting up territories and building nests. During this avian extravaganza, small groups of people will be out exploring wetlands, forests and fields that make up the Audubon Center’s 535 acres and surrounding habitat in Pine County – an area rich in diversity. Over the years two hundred species of birds have been observed at the Audubon Center.

Experienced birders will lead field trips both on the Center property and in other Pine County locations. Interesting and timely speakers, such as Nature Photographer Michael Furtman and Humorist Al Batt, will enlighten us about bird behavior and biology. Bird banding will take place on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Our resident educational birds of prey will be introduced and included in the program.

Our Mission:
To protect, improve and promote the enjoyment of the
natural environment through formal and informal
education programs and research; to assist and encourage
environmental education programs, centers, and careers.

Our Vision:
The environment is the blackboard for the Center's
educational programs; the common ground that brings us
together with the natural world and people from around
the globe to share our concerns for one another and the
future. It is through positive and shared experience that
we hope we can affect the values and actions of our
people to create a world of harmonious diversity.
