Enjoy small groups and individual attention while viewing resident and migratory birds such as the Belted Kingfisher, Red-breasted Sapsucker, Mountain and Western Bluebird, Yellow-billed Magpie and Northern Flicker. Participants will also have a chance to see wintering waterfowl and birds of prey including Snow and Ross’s Goose, Bufflehead, Snowy, Great and Cattle Egret, Ferruginous and Rough-legged Hawk as well as Bald and Golden Eagles. Along with many free events participants can attend over a dozen workshops covering beginning birding, photography, bats and birds.

Prices for field trips and workshops typically range from $2 to $20, with the exception of special rare tours of the Sutter Buttes. The festival weekend will also feature exhibits, vendors and several FREE events, including live animals and Junior Naturalist Activities. Our main headquarters during the festival weekend is at the Chico Masonic Family Center, 1110 W. East Avenue.
