This 5-day birding and nature extravaganza features wide variety of activities for every
level of interest from budding naturalists to expert birders.
Workshops range from learning wildlife photography techniques and how to build a nestbox to identifying dragonflies and observing hummingbird banding.
Lecture topics will include the study of jaguars in northern Mexico and the southwestern
U.S., a presentation about a local burrowing owl relocation project and the reintroduction
of beavers on the San Pedro River.
The most popular event - the field trips - will take you to some of the best birding locales
in southeastern Arizona including Cave Creek Canyon in the Chiricahua
Mountains, Ramsey Canyon in the Huachuca Mountains, the San Pedro River and the
Patagonia-Sonoita Preserve.
This year's keynote speaker is noted author and birder Ken Kaufman, who has
published his own series of field guides as well as other books.

Nature Festival will open your eyes to the wonders of southeastern Arizona.
