This year the 10th Annual Festival takes place MAY 25 TO JUNE 3, 2007 There are over 80 events and over 40 top notch leaders. The migration corridor along the shore of Lake Huron known as "The Huron Fringe", extending from Kincardine to Tobermory on the Bruce Peninsula is the area we cover. Our birding hikes, presentations and workshops are lead by very competent birders and naturalists from all over Ontario and Michigan. All birders and naturalists from the beginner to the more advanced will find something to pique their interests. The truth about Bats with Erin Fraser, The Intriguing World of Moths with Alan Macnaughton, Collecting Insects Digitally with Steve Marshall and The Last Billion Years of Bruce and Grey County with Alan Morgan are all evening programs that naturalists will find entertaining.
