The HURON FRINGE BIRDING FESTIVAL (8th Annual) just keeps growing and now offers 82 hikes, presentations and workshops related to birds and nature. This is probably the most diverse and comprehensive nature festival offered anywhere in North America. It offers a wide range of birding activities - workshops on Sparrows (John Haselmayer), Warblers (Mark Wiercinski), and Nesting of Ontario's Breeding Birds (George Peck). Also, offered are classes for Beginning Birders (Peter Middleton and Martin Parker) and hikes for the experienced we have Birding by Ear and Bird Until you Drop (by Michael Carlson). Participate in a Birdathon or take one of the many birding hikes offered, from a group of expert birders and naturalists.
The afternoons feature many nature related hikes that will cover whatever your interests are from wildflowers, geology, insects, reptiles, butterflies, nature hikes, botanical medicines, forestry, dragonflies, archaeology, photography, to ecology. The evenings have presentations by excellent speakers followed by owl prowls and star gazing.
