Spring Boreal Birding Festival
   Fantastic Birding in a Spectacular Setting
   June 2-4, 2006

************************

Plans for the 2006 Spring Boreal Birding Festival in Grand Marais, 
Minnesota are rapidly coming together.  This year’s festival will be the 
9th annual. Spring is an explosion of life in the North – over 150 bird 
species have been spotted during the event’s history!

Recently, a completely new web site was developed to help potential 
participants understand the array of opportunities that are included 
during the three-day experience.  Naturally, morning field trips led be 
highly experienced birders are at the festival’s core.  Trips explore 
the Lake Superior shoreline, head inland to birch and maple forests, and 
to inland lakes/streams.

Complementing morning field trips are three afternoon workshops 
(including northern wildflowers and a palegic outing) as well as two 
featured evening programs.  “The Raven’s Gift” with artist Kelly Dupre 
will be hosted at the Sivertson Art Gallery Friday evening.  “Owls of 
the North” with Gail Buhl from Wolf Ridge ELC will feature three live 
owls on Saturday night.

species and a printable registration form are all available on-line:
