2010 Winter Wings Festival
Mark Your Calendar!

The 2010 Winter Wings Festival sponsored by the Klamath Basin Audubon Society is in its early stages of planning.

Located in both south central Oregon and northern California, the Basin is a key player on the Pacific Flyway, hosting 80% of the birds that use the Flyway. A total of six separate nearby refuges comprise the total National Wildlife Refuge complex spanning nearly 200,000 acres. A unique, strong cooperative partnership between farming, water resources, and the refuges provides an abundance of food and water that attracts vast numbers of waterfowl and raptors.

Phenomenal birding/nature-related opportunities are yours at Winter Wings Festival 2010! Whether you are a beginner, a life-long birding enthusiast or call yourself a naturalist, you will find a unique perspective during this extraordinary event!

Guest Speaker for 2010

Scott Weidensaul, a well-known wildlife writer, lecturer, and field researcher, will be the keynote speaker on February 13, 2010. His topic: "Living on the Wind: The World of Migratory Birds" . . . At any moment of every day, migratory birds fill the skies of the western hemisphere, journeying from the High Arctic to Tierra del Fuego, across the Atlantic and Pacific, moving by day and night. Join naturalist and author Scott Weidensaul on an exploration of how and why birds migrate, and the conservation challenges that face them, based on his book, "Living on the Wind: Across the Hemisphere with Migratory Birds." The program ranges from the doorstep of the Aleutians in Alaska, and the frozen edge of Hudson Bay in Canada, through the rain forests of Central and South America to the grassy pampas of Argentina, and is filled with the drama and sweep of this remarkable phenomenon.

Scott Weidensaul is the author of more than two dozen books on natural history, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist "Living on the Wind", about bird migration, "Return to Wild America: A Yearlong Search for the Continent's Natural Soul", and his newest book, "Of a Feather: A Brief History of American Birding". Weidensaul writes for such publications as Audubon, Nature Conservancy and National Wildlife; he lives in the mountains of eastern Pennsylvania, where he studies the migration of hawks, owls and hummingbirds.
