Bird Fest

Celebrate Spring Migration

Bird Fest is an annual celebration held during the spring bird migration at the Eagle Creek Park Ornithology Center >. Birds from all over the Western Hemisphere fly incredibly long distances to find their summer nesting spots.

Eagle Creek Park is located in the Mississippi Flyway which means hundreds of beautiful bird species pass through the Park! Visitors may see Red-Winged Blackbirds, Bluebirds, Sandhill Cranes, and warblers of many varieties!

The Ornithology Center staff plans hikes and other events, calling on experts and volunteers to make the event an unforgettable day (or weekend!) of birding fun. See full schedule >

Donate to the Birds

Besides being a weekend full of hikes, events, and family fun, Bird Fest is a fundraiser for Eagle Creek Park’s Ornithology Center. Click the button to donate to the Ornithology Center and support the work they do in caring for the Avian Ambassadors!
