If you have never attended a birding festival before, The Biggest Week in American Birding is the perfect place to become initiated.
This eleven day event, taking place May 6-16, 2010, is hosted by Black Swamp Bird Observatory, and includes tours at adjacent sites such as Magee Marsh Wilderness area and Crane Creek State Park. Well-known bird author Kenn Kaufman will present programs virtually every night of the event.
Besides offering stellar birding, the most significant aspect of this festival is that there is no up front participation fee, many events are free of charge, and fees are nominal where they are charged.
