Spring Wings Bird Festival May 11, 201

  Submitted courtesy of the Spring Wings Committee -- Fallon, Nevada – Come celebrate the spring migration through the Lahontan Valley Wetlands! Spring Wings Bird Festival is for anyone interested in birds, nature and the great outdoors. You don’t have to be an expert “birder” to enjoy the activities we have to offer.  The Festival is the celebration of the songbirds, shorebirds, and waterfowl returning to the Lahontan Valley from all over the western world and we highlight our special Nevada habitat. From 9am to 4pm enjoy displays and interactive educational presentations at the William N. Pennington Life Center in Fallon for free – browse and take part in those activities at your leisure. From live birds to live bugs, we have it all. Plenty of activities geared for youngsters and the young at heart! Check our website for presentation times. A bird carving seminar will be offered by the Pacific Flyway Decoy Association. Wood and knife are provided and you walk away with your own hand-carved piece of art. Price of seminar is $25 ages 15+. For those who want to participate in the tours around the Lahontan Valley, registration prices are $10-$25, sign-up online.  At 6:00pm, share your birding stories with old and new friends over a casual dinner, $35.00.  Pre-registration is highly recommended.
